She was reported to have been arrested from the Tibetan refugee colony at Majnu-ka-Tilla in North Delhi following a tip off. She has since been booked for criminal conspiracy, impersonation, cheating and forgery under various sections of under Indian Penal Code and the Foreigners Act, the hindustantimes.com Oct 21 cited the special cell of the Delhi police as saying.

The woman’s real named, confirmed from the records of the Foreigners Regional Registration Officer, is stated to be Cai Ruo, the name and document under which she had entered India.

She has been committed to a 14-day police custody and speaks English, Mandarin and Nepali, according to newsroompost.com Oct 21.

However, according to the timesnownews.com Oct 21, police said Cai Ruo conversed fluently in English with the Delhi Police personnel but did not know the Nepali language. She, in fact, speaks fluent Chinese, the police have added.
