Though Bunty deactivated the security alarm and surveillance camera he did not notice one of the hidden cameras behind a door that captured his image, which helped the Kerala police to locate him.

The suspect later abandoned the stolen SUV near Bengaluru next day. Police captured him from Pune after two days with the help of Maharashtra Police.
