After the crime, Jayesh went into hiding in Kerala where he later married a Muslim girl, converted to Islam and changed his name to Shakir alias Sahir.

In this connection, a case was filed against Jayesh in the Uppinangady police station.

In 2014, Jayesh was staying in Alapuram. There one day, when he had a fight with his wife, he climbed a coconut tree and refused to climb down. The Alapuram police after convincing him brought him down. Later when they interrogated him, it was learnt that Jayesh was the accused in the Puttur double murder case. The Kerala police then handed over Jayesh to the Uppinangady police for further investigations. The Uppinangady police arrested Jayesh on October 11 and remanded him to judicial custody.

Under section 450, 392 and 302, the 5th additional district court sentenced Jayesh to death. This is the second death sentence in the history of Puttur court.
