It’s not the issue of Tibetan protesting here. Cops are unprofessional in Nepal, period! If you get into the custody for any reason, they will beat you first for no reason even if you’re innocent or guilty. It doesn’t matter to them. One time, I was walking down the street and the cop van pulled by and dragged me in the van. I was in shock. They took me to the police satiation and the inspector slapped me twice without even asking anything. I knew the ASI and asked him what’s going on and he was like, “Oh, sh*t miss identification yaar.” The inspector apologized and even dropped me home. I still hate them for those two slaps.

Junior cops are like slaves to their officers. Some of them even cook, wash clothes, drive, take care of their children (baby sit), buy groceries and do other labor works for their senior supervisors.

Senior officers get trained in the developed countries like UK, US, Europe and so on. They travel all the time. But they don’t imply what they have learned. There are many techniques for crowd control using less force and looking not so bad in front of the media and general people. For example, they don’t have to raise baton from the head above, it can be done by swinging the baton from side by side. I have learned some techniques here and our instructor told us all the time that; safety first, use less force and don’t be inhuman. If you violated these rules and get caught here, you are fked big time.

Both Nepal Police and Nepal Army have to be more professional.
