He was trailed from Mumbai, where his family lives, to his home town in Sikar in Rajasthan where he was arrested on Tuesday.
"He was on our radar for some time. He came to India recently and visited his ancestral house in Fatehpur eight days back. He was picked up by us interrogation and was placed under arrest yesterday," Mr Mishra told news agency Press Trust of India.
