The article says the suspects "had arrived in Nepal aboard a Cathay Pacific flight carrying marijuana produced in Thailand" and gives no source for the Thai origin. It says "Preliminary investigations reveal that the pair had planned to smuggle the contraband into India through a local Nepali agent a few days later".
