Nepal on Sunday detained 13 Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) personnel for nearly five hours after they inadvertently entered the country while chasing suspected smugglers, the second incident along the border within a week amid tension in bilateral ties.
The incident took place around 6.30 am when a SSB patrol party saw some suspicious activity along the Ambari-Kesna border post and began a “hot pursuit” of the suspected diesel smugglers.
