453 Nepalis held hostage in Kushinagar, Uttar Pradesh, India have been rescued.
The rescuers were rescued by the Rupandehi police with the help of the Indian police on Friday and brought them to Nepal on Saturday. Last night, a team of Lumbini Province Police and Rupandehi Police with the help of the Indian police rescued them from Kushinagar.
Lumbini Province and Rupandehi Police had launched an operation after receiving information that a gang of Nepalis was taking young men and women from various districts of Nepal to Kushinagar and taking them hostage by promising lucrative jobs and good earnings.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath also provided significant support to the Nepal Police operation. The gang of hostage takers was taking them to Kushinagar via Sunauli from Nepal and offering lucrative jobs and paying them between 7,000 and 100,000 Indian rupees per person. They were expanding their membership by collecting money and expanding their membership in the style of a networking business.
Rupandehi Police Chief Janak Bahadur Shahi said that he had received information that at least one thousand young women from Lumbini Province, Koshi Province and Sudurpaschim Province were taken and held captive in Kushinagar. 'Based on that information, they were rescued with the help of Indian police after being tracked down and the place where they were held hostage was discovered,' he said, 'Further investigation is underway.'
The victim's relatives had filed a complaint with the Butwal Area Police Office, alleging that they were held hostage in Kushinagar and demanded ransom money. Nishant Srivastava, Deputy Superintendent of Police at Butwal Area Police Office, said that the police had started an investigation based on that complaint. "After four days of continuous efforts, we have succeeded in rescuing the victims with the help of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and the Indian police," he said. "It has been seen that they are being taken there from various districts of Nepal and are trying to expand their membership by charging a fee of 1 lakh Indian rupees per member and trying to extort money from the families of those who cannot become members."
He said that one group trains the young men and women brought there under the lure of jobs, and another group uses them to expand their membership by charging a membership fee.
The police have now brought all the hostage-takers and victims to Nepal in 8 Indian buses. All of them have been kept at the District Police Office, Bhairahawa. The police have said that after identifying the main gang of hostage-takers, they will hand over the hostages to their families and start further investigation.
