India-Nepal Border: 79 Escapees Apprehended, Including Foreign Nationals
Following recent unrest in Nepal, which led to multiple jailbreaks, Indian border security (SSB) has detained 79 escapees attempting to enter India.
These individuals were fleeing the chaos in Nepal.
Among them were four foreign nationals: two Nigerians, a Brazilian, and a Bangladeshi.
The SSB is increasing vigilance on the border.
The detainees are being handed over to police.
They were caught because they lacked proper identification.
The SSB apprehended 79 escapees crossing the India-Nepal border.
Among the escapees, four were foreign nationals.
Arrests took place in Bihar and West Bengal.
Inmates were held for lacking valid identification.
Increased vigilance is due to mass prison breaks in Nepal amidst unrest.
