The accused were arrested on May 17 on charges of murder. S Vanita, Additional Superintendent of Police, said that the accused initially cooperated with the investigation and pleaded innocence claiming that infant died in her sleep and that they even called for an ambulance to take her to the hospital. However, the autopsy result of the infant showed contusions in the head and skull area, which indicated that the death might not have been a natural one. Upon further interrogation, the duo confessed to the crime.

According to S Vanita, the accused had first given the infant a herbal juice, which is commonly used for female infanticide in interior villages of Tamil Nadu and when the baby survived it, they suffocated her to death. The police officer also informed that the mother of the infant is not involved in the crime.
