Here is my take on things. I blame Arasi for how she has handled herself and her lack of maturity. Ok I understand that police cannot get emotionally involved in each case, because they need a clear perspective, but this involved her daughter Selvi who she did not raise for 30 yrs. Arasi being the mother never extended the olive branch, first ignoring her refusing to acknowledge Selvi presence, then Selvi begs for Mahi release from Mumbai, Arasi on purpose chose to give Selvi a hard time when Arasi had the power to act quickly, then to make matters even worst she blackmails Selvi to leave Mumbai by using her Mahi as a bargaining chip. Ok she did all this, when Arasi realized she desperately needed Mahi help she never spoke kindly or had a heart to heart it was all a demand and she had audacity to accuse Selvi to ruin her life.
We all know Arasi is not evil, she never meant to hurt Mahi she never used her for revenge, she only wanted justice. But Arasi miscalculated everything, she needed Selvi on her side but with her cold hard ways Arasi has isolated herself. Selvi and co. have no choice but to react the way they have because of Arasi prior behavior. Arasi has to find a way to redeem herself, because it is Selvi who has lost more and she is the victim. 😭
