Patna's Senior Superintendent of Police Rajiv Mishra said the suspect was arrested from Laskana in Gujarat's Surat. A threat complaint was filed in Patna on March 20.

Subsequently, a special investigation team was formed to investigate the matter. Mishra was identified and traced to Surat. Mishra, a native of Bihar's Vaishali district, will be produced before a Surat court for transit custody and then transferred to Bihar.
