Durga Prasai, the mastermind behind the violent protest that took place on the 15th of Chait, has been apprehended in India. Authorities confirmed that Prasai is now being transferred to Nepal for further investigation.
The incident, which unfolded at Tinkune, saw Prasai use a vehicle to run over police officers, after which he vanished from sight. Since then, law enforcement has been actively searching for him.
Despite his disappearance, Prasai publicly appeared on social media, posting a video in which he denied being on the run, claiming that he was not avoiding capture. Authorities are now in the process of bringing him back to Nepal to face charges.
