"We have been verifying details. He would be produced in a court today," the police officer said.
Police also said Akanksha's family had lodged a complaint with West Bengal Police in Bankura after they lost touch with her.
Akanksha's father claimed that his daughter had left home in June 2016 seeking job. She was in touch with her parents over phone, but it stopped in December last year and since then remained in contact only through text messages.
Suspecting her activities, the family traced the phone number through which she used to text and found that the number was registered on an address in Saket Nagar here.
Later, they lodged a complaint with Bankura police on January 5.
