Nepali security forces detained 13 personnel of Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) early on Sunday after they had allegedly crossed the border with arms. The personnel who were detained for several hours by Nepal’s Armed Police Force (APF) in Jhapa district of eastern Nepal were later released and handed over to Indian officials. “All the SSB personnel who had been detained for entering Nepal illegally with arms have been handed over to Indian side and we have begun investigations,” said assistant chief district officer Dambaru Prasad Niraula.
