Nepal Police releases 13 SSB detained soldiers
New Delhi, Nov 29 (IBNS): Nepal's border guarding force on Sunday detained thirteen unarmed Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) soldiers along the Indo-Nepal border, media reports said.
However, they were released after senior officials of the SSB raised the issue with Nepal's Armed Police Force.
"Two of them entered a village in Jhapa, the easternmost district of Nepal, "inadvertently" while following smugglers who were allegedly trying to cross the border without mandatory checks," NDTV reported quoting sources.
These two soldiers were first detained by the smugglers and then handed over to the Armed Police Force at Kesna village.
When their colleagues went to the village to get them back, they too were detained.
