A team led by Inspector Mahipal analyzed Shahi's mobile records for 15 days, discovering that he had changed eight mobile sets and nearly 20 SIMs. The team traveled 1,600 km in 24 hours, from Himachal Pradesh to Dehradun, and finally arrested Shahi at Banbasa.

Shahi, a resident of Nepal, came to India in 2002 and worked as a laborer in Himachal Pradesh. He was arrested twice in NDPS Act cases in 2018 and 2020 but jumped bail and was declared a proclaimed offender.

Shahi used multiple aliases and fake IDs to evade capture and frequently changed his location between India and Nepal.

Arrest and Recovery:

Police recovered four mobile phones and fake IDs from Shahi, including documents with the names Shakti Sai, Satya Sai, Surya Prakash Shahi, Gagan Oli, and Krishna Shahi. He was carrying the fictional identity of 'Gagan Oli' when arrested.

The gang used female accomplices to avoid raising suspicions in the neighborhood. Extensive interrogation sessions exposed Shahi's involvement in various other criminal activities across northern India.
