Kathmandu District Police say they arrested 250 people—227 men and 23 women—during a 24-hour “Safe Kathmandu” sweep conducted through Friday morning. Police spokesperson SP Dan Bahadur Thapa said the group included 13 people already convicted but evading sentences, one person who allegedly escaped prison during last year’s Gen-Z unrest, and three fugitives in pending cases, along with others detained over alleged theft, robbery, intimidation, disorder and similar offenses. The scale is unusual—250 arrests in a single 24-hour operation—and it included convicted fugitives and an alleged prison escapee, not just routine street detentions. Status: Confirmed that police conducted the sweep and reported the arrests. Most underlying accusations have not been adjudicated, so arrest should not be treated as proof of guilt. https://nepaldaily.com/news/33...
