The arrested man, as per reports, travelled to Pakistan and had Pakistani, Chinese, and Nepalese currencies on him.

According to PTI, security teams recovered three mobile phones from him. One of the devices contained videos of several protected areas within Indian territory. He was also carrying a map of Nepal printed in English. Officials said Qunjing communicated only through gestures and claimed he did not understand English or Hindi. Interrogation was carried out with the help of an interpreter. During questioning, investigators learned he had previously travelled to Pakistan, where he held a visa. The Pakistan visit, along with his illegal entry into India and videography, raised suspicions among agencies, Udavat said.
