Suppose there is sphere which is completely made of ideal mirror. What if a light particle is induced in it by a source of light? Does the light particle remains there by bouncing or disappear after removing the source of light?

It would stay inside of a perfect mirror. Of course, perfect mirrors don't exist in reality. It is covered in this video.

The photons would be able to bounce around indefinitely. However, if this were really done, the photon would quickly be absorbed by the particles of the mirror
