Shah entered Kathmandu on a fake passport provided by his Pakistan handlers. He took a flight from Karachi to Kathmandu. Thereafter, he crossed Sunauli border and reached Uttar Pradesh's Gorakhpur from where he was arrested," said SN Srivastava, Special Commissioner of Police (Special Cell).
On specific intelligence received on March 19 regarding a 'fidayeen' attack in Delhi, a police team was deployed at the India-Nepal border in Uttar Pradesh's Gorakhpur and Tanakpur in Uttarakhand, added the officer.
During interrogation, Shah revealed that he was instructed to destroy all the passports upon arrival in Kathmandu so that when he and his family entered India, there would be no evidence of any Pakistani connection.
