KATHMANDU: One person has been arrested from the holding center in Kirtipur, where landless squatters are currently being housed. The police arrested 39-year-old Dambar Tamang of Arun Rural Municipality, Bhojpur, on charges of committing an offense against public peace.

According to the police, Tamang has been presented before the district court to extend his remand in order to proceed with the investigation into the public peace disruption case.

Tamang had reportedly exaggerated and misrepresented Kathmandu Metropolitan City’s request to the individuals at the holding center regarding their relocation elsewhere with provided facilities.
