Soon, the Chavakkad Police, along with Councillor Sanup Thamarath and locals, reached the spot. After a long search inside the house, they found the accused, Radheshyam Garh, hiding under a bed in an upstairs room. Police immediately took him into custody.
During questioning at the station, Garh revealed that he was from Naharkatia in Assam's Dibrugarh district. A police investigation found that he had broken into cupboards and tossed things around in an attempt to find valuables to steal.
Since Garh did not know Malayalam, the police brought in an Assamese translator to explain the nature of his crime and the legal proceedings to him. The team, led by Chavakkad SHO Sub Inspector Preetha Babu, included Sub Inspector Basith, Assistant Sub Inspector Vijayan, Senior Civil Police Officer Shihab, and Civil Police Officer Ratheesh. They completed the formalities and produced Garh in court, where he was remanded.
