Acting on a tip-off, a team of CB-CID police arrested the prime accused Jana of Kalitheerthankuppam who had been reported absconding since the murder from Chennai. Sustained interrogation by the police revealed that Jana had previous enmity with the victim Velalagan.
Udhayakumar, one of the main accused, had planned to eliminate Velalagan, and with the help of Jana committed the murder. Jana was produced before a local court and remanded to custody.
