found Parvez to have been murdered
DSP Bogati said Miya had repeatedly hit Parvez on headand throat with a broken bottle of whiskey when the victim was asleep.
Following the
murder, Miya boarded a night bus from New Bus Park for Birgunj in a bid to flee to India

Metropolitan Police Range was in
regular touch with the police units throughoutthe country by circulating facial features and photos of Miya for his arrest on sight.
DSP
Bogati said he was nabbed from Lahan and brought to Kathmandu for legal action.
During interrogation, Miya told police that Parvez had
swindled him of 300,000 Bagladesi taka (approximatelyRs 403,369) on the pretext of sending him to Lebanon for foreign employment.
As Parvez
could not secure him a visa for Lebanon and even refused to refund the cash, Miya decided to kill him.
