NEPALGUNJ, NOV 29 - Police arrested a leader of an underground armed outfit from Jamunha, nearby the town of Nepalgunj, along the Nepal-India border on Friday.
A special investigation unit of Mid-Western Regional Police Office arrested Bhagat Singh , the leader of Janatantrik Tarai Madhes Mukti Party (JTMMP), from no man's land near Jamunha this evening.
The police is yet to make official confirmation of the arrest.
Singh's family, meanwhile, have sought help from the human rights activists, saying that Singh had already given up arms and had come into the peace process.
Though Singh and his party have given up arms, state has not withdrawn the cases filed against them. JTMMP has been responsible for multiple bombings, extortion and murder in districts such as Banke, Bardiya and Dang.
Leader Singh had shown interest to participate at the second CA election if cases against him and his colleagues, who are serving time in jail, were pardoned.
Singh, who had also agreed for party unification with Madhesi Janadhikar Forum-Loktantrik, had been staying at the neighbouring Indian town of Rupediya for some legal hurdles.
