Nasir was caught by the Katihar police patrol team after finding him roaming suspiciously in Shaheed Chowk. When the police patrol team had asked him to stop it seemed that he could not understand Hindi. The police could not find any reason as to why he was roaming on the road in the middle of the night. Nasir could not even tell his identity. The police then took him into custody. Later, suspecting that the youth was a foreigner, police handed him over to RAW.
Katihar police said the local people informed them about a youth roaming on the streets in a suspicious manner. On the basis of this information, the police patrol team had spotted him and then handed over to RAW.
