Additional Director General of Police SR Mardi said it was too early to conclude that those arrested were Chinese spies.

The arrested persons were being interrogated by the police and intelligence agencies and nothing could be said till their interrogation was completed, he said.

The arrest of Chinese nationals comes in the backdrop of reports of renewed threat to the life of Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama and another Tibetan guru, Karmapa Oxygen Trinley Dorje.

The arrested Chinese nationals have been living in the house, protected by a 15-foot high wall, for quite some time and some of them were reportedly working as masons.
