After the question paper was leaked, Malu allegedly wrote the answers and shared it.

Following the arrest of 16 accused in the case, Gujarat police came to know about the origin of the shared answers of the leaked questions.

Subsequently, a team of Gujarat police reached Malkangiri and apprehended Malu with the help of the district police.

He will be taken to Gujarat for further questioning, police sources said.
