A Chinese woman living in a monastery under a forged Nepalese identity was arrested from Mandi district, the police said.
The woman, living in a monastery in Jogindernagar, was questioned after a tip-off and was found to be carrying a Nepalese citizenship document that was fake, Mandi Superintendent of Police Shalini Agnihotri said.
