The caretaker took them inside and asked them to wait, she said.

Informed, Rehman asked the caretaker to give them some snacks.

As Rehman was late to come down, they gave a visiting card of the private channel to the caretaker and asked him to give it to him.

When the caretaker was going up to give the card the trio began following him when Rehman came down by that time.

The team picked up Rehman in a microbus waiting in front of his house around 8:15am, Taleya added.
