Taliban: Nepal arrests 11 Afghans for illegal entry
Nepali Police on Monday arrested 11 Afghan nationals suspected of entering the country illegally.
Officers from the Central Investigation Bureau of Nepal Police raided a house in Sinamangal in Kathmandu in the morning and detained 11 Afghans.
The 11 arrested include seven men and four women, who had entered Nepal through India.
Deputy Inspector General of Nepal Police, Dhiraj Pratap Singh, said five of them entered Nepal on October 21, while the others came six weeks back.
He said that all the Afghan nationals have been transferred to the Department of Immigration for further action, adding that Indian ration cards, which are used as a proof of identity, were found with six of them.
Police suspected the Afghans prepared the ration cards to show they are Indian nationals since Nepalis and Indians do not need passports for cross-border travel.
Mr Singh said that the police was probing the authenticity of the Indian ration cards.
