The men who were nabbed by the police as per the reports have accepted that they are indeed the members of the said group.

Mr. Jha belongs to the ethnic Madhesi communtiy whose ancestors hail from Kushweshorsthan of Dharbhanga district, northern India.
In addition, reveals a weekly newspaper, Parmananda Jha’s own brother Dhanananda Jha owns a bi-cycle repairing center in Darbhanga District, India.

A Plastic Hand Grenade, high explosive ranges of 3600-4200 splinter and double bearings were used to carryout the explosion where a security guard of the Nepal Army was severely injured.

Nepal’s Police Force has taken it as a huge success and has pledged to continue its efforts towards nabbing several other criminal groups operating in Kathmandu and bringing them behind bars.

Metropolitan Police Crime Division Office (MPCD), Hanumandhoka had on Sunday organized a press conference.

Speaking on the occasion, Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Upendra Kant Aryal said that this underground group survived basically on extortions and ransoms mainly form the Indian entrepreneurs and people of the Indian origin in Nepal.
