An Indian man who was detained by Nepal’s security personnel yesterday after firing near India-Nepal border returned to Sitamarhi district of Bihar on Friday after being released by them.

“We ran to return to India when they started firing, but they dragged me from the Indian side, hit me with a rifle butt and took me to Nepal’s Sangrampur. They told me to confess that I was brought there from Nepal. I told them you can kill me but I was brought there from India,” said Lagan Kishore.

“My son and I was at the border to meet my daughter-in-law (a Nepali national). Security personnel from that side hit my son. They asked me to shut up when I asked why did they do that. They called up 10 more security personnel, they came to the border and fired bullets in air,” he added.
