The incident comes nearly a month after an Indian national was killed and two others were injured when Nepal’s Armed Police Force personnel opened fire at a group of Indians after they allegedly tried to enter into the Nepalese territory from the Indo-Nepal border in Sarlahi district during lockdown.

This comes amid strained relationship between India and Nepal.

More details awaited.
