Locals of Belauri Municipality in Kanchanpur district took control of four Indian police personnel who illegally entered Nepal on Thursday evening with weapons. They were handed over to District Police Office (DPO), Kanchanpur on the same day. Six Indian police--three in uniform and remaining three others in mufti had entered Nepal on three motorcycles. Locals claim that after the Indian policemen started to misbehave a confrontation ensued. While two of them managed to escape, the rest were handed over to the DPO. “The Indian security personnel entered the house of Jhup Bahadur Shahi and Thir Bahadir Shahi and started searching, which led to the confrontation,” said Om Prakash Pant, a local. About 40-50 locals had gathered around the house sensing trouble. Locals handed over one pistol and 10 rounds of ammunitions that were confiscated from Indian police to a team of Nepal Police that arrived at the scene later. Locals claimed that the two other Indian security personnel who managed to flee were also carrying pistols. The arrested members of the Indian police force have told the Nepali police that they crossed the border to look for stolen motorcycles. Superintendent of Police (SP) Tulasi Adhikari, chief of the DPO, said the arrested Indian policemen will not be released without permission from the Home Ministry and other high-level authorities. Following the arrest, some Indian citizens had crossed the border to protest the arrest of Indian police. During the process, they even clashed with Nepali citizens. According to locals, there have been several instances of Indian police as well as members of Sima Suraksha Bal (SSB) entering Nepal with weapons. मोटरसाइकलमा चोर समात्न भन्दै हतियारसहित नेपाल छिरेका तीन जना भारतीय सुरक्षाकर्मी पक्राउ परेका छन्। विहीबार अपरान्ह कञ्चनपुरको बेलौरी नगरपालिका–१४ भूडा गाउँमा हतियारसहित प्रवेश गरेका तीनजना भारतीय प्रहरीलाई इलाका प्रहरी कार्यालय बेल्डाँडीको टोलीले पक्राउ गरेको हो। पक्राउ पर्नेमा भारतको पिलिभित जिल्ला कम्पोजनगर प्रहरी चौकीका सई सुवास चन्द, जवानहरु अर्जुन सिंह र प्रदीपकुमार रहेका छन्। भारतमा मोटरसाइकल चोरीका घटनाका आरोपी श्रवणकुमार सिंह नाम गरेका ब्यक्तिलाई लिएर तीनैजना प्रहरी कञ्चनपुरको भुडागाउँ पसेका इलाका प्रहरी बेल्डाँडीका प्रहरी निरीक्षक गिन्द्र बोगटीले जानकारी दिए। तीनजना भारतीय सुरक्षाकर्मी र एकजना भारतीय नागरिकलाई विहीबार राति नै द्विदेशीय मामला भएको भन्दै इलाका प्रहरी कार्यालय बेल्डाँडीले जिल्ला प्रहरी कार्यालय कञ्चनपुरलाई बुझाएको छ। कञ्चनपुर प्रहरी प्रमुख, प्रहरी उपरीक्षक तुलसीप्रसाद अधिकारीले श्रवणकुमार सिंहले मोटरसाइकल चोरको घर देखाइदिन्छु भन्दै तीनजना भारतीय प्रहरीलाई नेपाल ल्याएको खुलेको बतए। तर, नेपालीको घरमा मोटरसाइकल भने फेला परेको छैन। भारतीय प्रहरीले भुडा गाउँका बहादुर शाहीको घरमा खान तलासीका लागि आएपनि, अरु स्थानीयको घरमा पनि हतियारसहित पसेर खानतलासी गर्न थालेपछि स्थानीयले विरोध गर्दै इलाका प्रहरी कार्यालय बेल्डाँडीलाई खबर गरेका थिए। प्रहरीले तीनै जनाबाट एक–एक थान पेस्तोल र ९ राउण्ड त्यसमा प्रयोग हुने गोली बरामद गरेको छ। पक्राउ परेका उनीहरुलाई भारतीय प्रहरीका उच्च अधिकारीको जिम्मा लगाउने तयारी भइरहेको कञ्चनपुर प्रहरीले जनाएको छ।
