A police team then proceeded to Bihar after learning that the accused had fled from the State.

Police finally nabbed Malli in Khagaria with the help of the local police.
According to SP (South) Abhishek Dhania, the accused is being brought to Goa by a Canacona police team after completing legal formalities at Khagaria district, Bihar.
