Hostage drama over

Sub-Inspector Dhan Bahadur B K, who led the revolt along with ten others, has been arrested. “They are being tried as per the police act,” Police headquarters said. The police operation to quell the revolt — the third one in the past three weeks in the security agencies — was assisted by the Nepal army.

The junior officials and jawans had held seven officers including a senior superintendent of the police in the police headquarters alleging that they ill-treated the juniors and that sub-standard ration was being supplied to subordinates.
