The JD(U) MLC, Manorama Devi, whom the police had taken to Bela police station last night after questioning her regarding the whereabouts of her son, is with arrested Yadav at Bela police station.
The SSP will hold a press conference later to give details of the police action.
Aditya Sachdeva, a class X student, was shot dead allegedly by Rocky Yadav for overtaking his SUV near police lines in Gaya district on Saturday night.
