Posing as a guide, Mohid met Matsuchita at Gaya railway station and took her to his home where he, his cousin Muzahid raza and another person Shamim tried to outrage her modesty and robbed her of Rs 35,000, Naik said.
The woman somehow managed to escape and left for Varanasi. She contacted the SP yesterday from Varanasi and met him today.
Acting on the tip-off, police raided the house of Mohid today and arrested the trio, Naik said, adding that the money was also recovered from their possession. Matsuchita is presently residing at a Japanese monastery, he said.
