"Recently, on the directions of his handlers accused Jashan came back to India and landed in Nepal from Dubai before entering India by road in an attempt to escape law enforcement,” he said.

The DGP said that preliminary investigations revealed that the accused, Jashan played a crucial role in providing logistical support to the gang.
