In Nepal children are abducted for ransom and sometimes even murdered according to recent surver. As many as 30 children were abducted in the region last year, according to Human Rights Watch. Nine ended with the child being killed. Moreover, two girls were raped. Security officials claim that there is less crime but local newspapers tell a different story - one of abductions, killings and extortion. Human Rights Watch has called on the Nepalese government and the police for answers."The Nepal-India border is an open border and so it’s easier - whether it’s for the smuggling of goods or smuggling of people - for criminal elements to just hide across the border into Bihar and Uttar Pradesh. I think that’s the main reason why we see a rise in criminal activities in that region."
