Kathmandu, May 11

Police in Kathmandu district say they have arrested three persons suspecting they might jeopardise harmony between Nepal and India as Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is arriving in Kathmandu in a couple of hours.

The arrestees include Bimal Burlakoti of Dhading, Prakash Subedi of Kathmandu and Govinda Bohora, according to the Metropolitan Police Crime Division.

They are members of a political group, Greater Nepal Movement, which has been demanding that the Sugauli Treaty signed between Nepal and India about their border issues be scrapped.

Likewise, the group is active in raising voices against reported border encroachments by India.

SSP Dhiraj Pratap Singh says police are interrogating for further investigation.
