Naveen was finally arrested following a directive of the Kerala Highy Court

The woman was found dead in the bedroom of her husband's house in Shoranur Road on September 2020. The relatives had earlier given a complaint that the woman's husband and his close friend Naveen used to drink together at home.

Naveen tried to sexually assault the woman when there was no one at home. Following the incident the woman went into depression and took the extreme step.

In the suicide note left behind by the woman, she held Naveen responsible for her death. The note was recovered from her diary.
