"Prime accused Sujit Sahu in the cyber crime case arrested last night. Hope this serves as a strong deterrent and such acts are not repeated," Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik tweeted.
Special DG (Crime) B K Sharma said Sahu was arrested from Mahanga area in Cuttack district last night.
The crime branch had formed a eight-member team to net Sahu, the owner of a marketing agency who allegedly posted pictures of the university's students on Facebook with objectionable slugs, he said.
The students had on Saturday filed a complaint with the police against Sahu and his marketing agency.
Police said the accused had held a picture competition among students few days ago. He got the pictures of the girl and allegedly used them in an obscene manner.
