Absconding arrested from court premises

A team of the Nepal Police has arrested an absconding person from the district court premises.

A team of the District Police Range Kathmandu caught Anil Thakur last night.

Thakur, a resident of Kachan rural municipality in Saptari and currently is living in Kathmandu Tilganga, had been absconding since last Sunday evening while police were taking him to the Kathmandu District Court for time expansion.

A spokesperson at District Police Range Kathmandu, SP Dinesh Raj Mainali said Thakur was arrested again near a sky bridge at Koteswor after three hours since he went at large.

He was being taken to the court for time expansion on a drug abuse case.

Likewise, Spokesperson Mainali said security arrangement was tightened in the main entry points of Kathmandu so that the convict could not run away outside the Valley.

Thakur has been detained at Police Circle Gaushala. Investigation into the case is underway, police said.
