Upon investigating further, the team finds out that Aravindan had earlier took some jewelry from store to help his lover’s family in debt, believing their words that it will be replaced quickly with money from a loan amount.

Almost certain that the robbery is done by the migrant laborer group, the team confirms their suspicions after secretly searching their rented house which had traces of the stolen jewellery boxes.

They find that the phone number of one of the gang members received from Mukkan is switched off from the day of robbery and found to be in the range of an UP-Rajasthan border village in between momentarily.

After spending a day there, Sajan and his team shifts themselves at their own expense to a much better place, but chooses not to vacate the initial lodge as they do not want to create any ill-feeling with the local cops.

The team learns that the thefts are done by locals belonging to a nearby village notorious for the thieving inhabitants who do not allow any police to enter their area and are violent in defending their turf and kin.

They scan the nearby areas with photographs of the accused (extracted from the photo IDs they had given in Kerala to get SIM cards) and finds out one of them as a local hooch suppliers aid.

Gaining some time, Sajan and the team escape with the culprits from the opposite hotel when a passing vehicle blocks the villagers view and successfully arrives back to Kerala.

"[13] Sanjith Sidhardhan of OTTplay gave 3.5/5 stars and wrote "While Kuttavum Shikshayum might not find its place among Rajeev Ravi’s best two works, it does have his signature style written all over and the filmmakers deserves credit for taking a subject based on true incidents and not giving it an over-the-top treatment by making it as gripping entertainer.
