The videos which emerged on Wednesday and Thursday respectively, have triggered widespread outrage because of the fact that they perpetuate a terroristic image of Muslims. All terrorists are stereotypically shown to be Muslims.
NDTV also reports that Chief Minister Anandiben Patel says, "It's wrong to link religion with terrorism. The issue has been resolved and the matter should be put to rest now. The mistake has been rectified."
Since the backlash received for the stereotypical portrayal of Muslims as terrorists, the police have apologised for the drills.
The Huffington Post reports that Narmada Superintendent of Police Jaypalsinh Rathore told news agency Press Trust of India, "I came to know about this incident (of projecting terrorists as Muslims) through media. If such an incident has happened, we will conduct an inquiry and take necessary actions against those responsible."

The report also featured B C Thakkar, inspector of the special operations group who was reportedly in charge of the drill, saying, "The mock drill participants were asked to wear skull cap just to give them a different look. It was not an intentional move to relate to a specific community."
