Eight Nepalese were robbed by Indian rickshaw entrepreneurs while they were returning Nepal to celebrate festivals on Sunday (11 sep). Indian rickshaw entrepreneurs calls passengers saying they will drop them to Mahendranagar from Indian border market Banbasa but they ask more money at Mahakali bridge.
