NEW DELHI: A 50-year-old woman, suspected to be a Chinese spy, was arrested in the national capital. Later a local Court sent her to 14-judicial custody. The accused, identified as Cai Ruo, was arrested by the anti-terror unit – Special Cell – of the Delhi Police on October 17 from Majnu Ka Tila in north Delhi.
As per sources, the Special Cell had received a tip-off that the said Chinese woman Cai Ruo, who came to India in 2019, is since then residing in this country as a Nepali national named ‘Dolma Lama’ and is allegedly involved in anti-national activities.
“Acting on the information, a team of police personnel was immediately dispatched to the Majnu Ka Tila from where the woman was apprehended. When apprehended, she gave her identity as Dolma Lama, a resident of Kathmandu, Nepal. She even showed her Nepal residence proof, however, during the initial questioning we learnt that she was not fluent in Nepali and Hindi,” official sources said.
As Dolma Lama was further questioned, she revealed that she knows Chinese (Mandarin) and her real name is Cai Ruom, a native of Hainan province in China. The Special Cell contacted Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO), who confirmed that Cai Ruo is a Chinese national and she had arrived in India in September, 2019 and then left for Nepal through Raniganj border in January, 2020.
The said woman was found having two identifications – one of Nepal and other of China – and in further questioning it was revealed that she had acquired the Nepal residentship with the help of some unknown persons. As she was found residing in India without a valid visa, the police registered an FIR against her under relevant sections.
On October 20, the Special Cell produced the Chinese woman at the Patiala House Court and sought judicial custody remand of 14-days saying the investigation of the said case is in progress and yet to be completed.
The custody was sought to prevent the accused from causing the evidence of the offence to disappear or tampering with such evidence in any manner. Meanwhile, sources said that central probe agencies like NIA and IB have also been kept in loop about the arrest of the Chinese woman.
