After the wife was arrested, their husbands were caught while leaving Kathmandu. Ifan Ali, 23, with passport number US 1848071, and Safiur Rahman, 44, with passport number AQ 5988103, a Pakistani national, were arrested while trying to board a plane. Ali is the husband of Kalsum and Safiur is the husband of Sarvana. Both were arrested while going to the plane with boarding passes after security check. Both were about to leave Nepal on an Air Arabia flight.
Pakistani passports have been recovered from both of them. Safiur III and Ali have come to Nepal for the first time. During a long interrogation of the arrested women, they told that they had come to Nepal with their husbands, and the police were able to arrest both their husbands, said District Police Spokesperson DSP Ripendra Kumar Singh. The police had mobilized various units and arrested them at 6 pm on Saturday. The police brought both of them to Kapilvastu on Sunday night and are interrogating them. DSP Singh said that the remand of both of them was extended by 8 days on Monday for investigation.
Both the women had gone to the Surendra Gold and Silver Shop in Shivaraj-5, Chandrauta, in the evening to buy jewelry. They had distracted the businessman who was looking at the jewelry there and stole a pair of gold earrings worth 38 rupees and fled. When they came out after the theft, they tried to hide their identity by wearing a burqa over their mask. After realizing that the jewelry was missing, the shopkeeper immediately went to the market and found the woman while searching, and the police were informed. The ward police had taken them into custody. On the same day, a woman had cheated and fled from Bageshwori Jewelers gold and silver shop in Taulihawa. They had demanded more than one tola of jewelry to exchange for gold and had fled on the pretext of showing it to a friend. The woman had given the owner of the jewelry shop a pair of rings and a chain, saying they were genuine. After the theft of Chandrauta became public, the shopkeeper in Taulihawa filed a complaint with the police after testing the gold given by the woman and finding that only 7 percent of the jewelry was genuine gold. The police said that they had also stolen from a gold and silver shop in Yogikuti, Butwal. District Police Chief Superintendent Santosh Acharya said that other thefts committed by the woman are also being revealed.
A complaint has been filed against a woman at the Area Police Office Itahari for stealing one tola and two tola of gold ornaments in Morang. Police said that a complaint is being filed in Chitwan as well. According to the police, they have been stealing gold under the pretext of showing cash and looking at the ornaments. Nepali rupees 86,040 have been recovered from the woman. Three Pakistani notes of Rs 10 each have also been recovered. The woman is being investigated for theft and fraud. They came to Kathmandu on March 24. Their visas are valid until April 22.
