Over NPR 3.3 Million Seized in Looting Arrests Near Boudha

Nepal Police arrested several individuals in the Boudha area with over NPR 3.3 million in cash, following a string of looting incidents linked to recent protests.

Authorities said NPR 3.37 million was recovered during the arrests. The looting reportedly began after demonstrations escalated earlier this week, adding to the volatility in parts of Kathmandu.

The police confirmed that investigations are underway to identify others involved and to trace the broader network behind the theft. The arrests underscore how civil unrest has extended beyond street protests into direct threats to public security and property.
