While the protestors in Nepal have been making the situation worse every hour, five prisoners successfully evaded the Nepal prison and were trying to enter India. Acting swiftly on the incident, the Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) apprehended the five prisoners who had escaped from a jail in Nepal and were attempting to cross into India, officials said.
As reported by news agency ANI, the prisoners were caught along the India-Nepal border in Uttar Pradesh's Siddharthnagar district while attempting to infiltrate into Indian territory. While the protestors have also put a Nepal jail on fire, suspicion about their escape from Nepal is still a question.
