After returning to Kolkata on December 26, she lodged the FIR following which Wasim was arrested. Acting on information collected from him during interrogation, a Kolkata Police team went to Gaya and arrested the duo and brought them to Kolkata.

The two brothers were arrested on charges of rape and cheating the Japanese girl, the Gaya SSP added.
