The man was arrested last week after Israeli embassy officials told them that a suspicious man appeared to be scouting the embassy in the upscale Lazimpat neighborhood in Katmandu, said Kesh Bahadur Shahi of Nepal’s Central Investigation Bureau.
He said Wednesday that the man identified only as Mohsin Khosravian is being held in a detention center in Katmandu. Police said they could not give any more details as the case is a sensitive diplomatic issue and still being investigated.
