“We have heard that Hoda is wanted in a railway accident that took place in Kanpur last year killing 150 people,” Upadhyaya said.

“Nepal Police will also work in close coordination with the Indian Police for Hoda’s alleged involvement in criminal activities in India,” he said.

The three others arrested are identified as Brij Kishor Giri, Ashish Singh and Umesh Kumar Kurmi, all from Kalaiya district in southern Nepal.

According to the report, the police have brought Hoda and three other accused criminals to Nepal from Dubai in coordination with the Interpol. Hoda is the mastermind of a twin murder in Bara district of Nepal, the police said.

Hoda has links with international criminal groups and he has been involved in a number of criminal activities in Nepal and India, Upadhyaya said.

According to Bihar police, the three were paid Rs three lakh by a Nepali man who had connections with Hoda.
