Armed Police Officials Summoned to Headquarters Following Border Incident in Kailali

Kathmandu. Armed Police Deputy Superintendent Pradeep Paudel, the unit commander of the Armed Police Force's border security battalion in Khakraula, Kailali, along with other personnel, has been summoned to the headquarters for action. Paudel and other staff were called to the headquarters following an investigation into the incident that occurred on Chaitra 4 and for negligence in unit security.

On Chaitra 4, a dispute arose over the seizure of goods being illegally brought in from India. Armed Police Spokesperson Bishnu Prasad Bhatta informed that they were summoned to the headquarters because the smugglers' group entered the office and attempted to assault the unit commander, yet no force was used, and necessary unit security measures were not observed. He also stated that the headquarters will seriously investigate the incident.

Previously, the Armed Police Force's Baidyanath Battalion Headquarters in Kailali had formed an investigation committee under the chairmanship of Armed Police Superintendent Anil Karki, the commander of the No. 43 Reserve Battalion, Banvehada, Kailali, regarding the incident.

Spokesperson Bhatta further informed that the personnel present at the time of the incident have been transferred to the headquarters, and the team at that office has been replaced by a contingent from the Armed Police Force's No. 34 Battalion, Kailali.
