Patna, Sep 10 (NationPress) In the wake of a significant jailbreak at Jaleshwar prison located in Mahottari district, Nepal, security personnel on the Indo-Nepal border apprehended 10 inmates who had fled, late Tuesday night.
The Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) successfully captured the escapees as they attempted to cross into India. They were subsequently transferred to the Bhitha and Sursand police stations in Bihar’s Sitamarhi district.
According to Bhitha SHO Manoj Kumar, the group comprises 6 Nepalese nationals: Ramgulam Mahato from Mukhiyapatti Musaharniya, Dhanusha, Vinod Rai of Hasanpur Nagarpalika, Aurahi, Siraha, Mojahid Ansari of Dhirapur, Mahottari, Surendra Sah Sonar from Khutta Pipradhi, Loharpatti, Indresh Mandal from Kurtha, Dhanusha, and Krishna Kumar Mahato of Yadukaha, Dhanusha.
The group also includes two Indian nationals: Mohan Kumar from Hajipur, Vaishali district, and Guddu Kumar from Parsauni Khem, Motihari.
Additionally, Sursand SHO Dhananjay Kumar Pandey confirmed the detention of two others identified as Riyaz Dafali from Ward-1, Jaleshwar, Nepal, and Rajesh Tamang of Hethauda, Ward-3, Nepal.
“All detainees are undertrials and are presently in custody. Further actions will be executed in accordance with directives from senior authorities,” stated Pandey.
On Tuesday, mayhem ensued in Jaleshwar Jail when 576 out of 577 inmates escaped, leaving just one behind in the care of the Armed Police Force of Nepal.
Some of the fugitives attempted to enter India via porous border routes but were intercepted due to enhanced monitoring by SSB patrols.
Authorities in both nations remain vigilant, with a curfew enforced in the Mahottari district following the recent unrest in Nepal.
The turmoil in Nepal has escalated, fueled by protests over corruption and social media restrictions that have turned violent nationwide.
What started as a protest against corruption and social media limitations has spread from Kathmandu to rural areas.
Protesters have set fire to the Parliament House, Rashtrapati Bhavan, and the Supreme Court.
The residences of Prime Minister K.P. Sharma Oli, former PM Prachanda, and former Home Minister Ramesh Lekhak have also been attacked and vandalized by enraged crowds.
Despite the government lifting the social media ban on Monday night, demonstrators remain outraged, demanding justice for the 19 civilian deaths during the clashes.
