Police officials in the Indian state of Himachal have said, Nepalese Maoists staying in the state for work are fast spreading their network and emerging as a new threat to the security of the state, Indian media reported.
According to the online version of Indian Express, such concerns were raised at a conference on information sharing attended by top officials of ten Indian states in the north-western region.
Himachal Pradesh (HP) police officials highlighted a recent incident involving a Nepalese citizen who made telephonic calls to a close relative of former Communication Minister Sukh Ram for a huge ransom saying the incident had come as an eye opener for the state police. It was revealed later when the Nepalese citizen in question was arrested in Nepal that he was a Maoist cadre.
At the conference, HP police officials claimed, the Maoist cadres from Nepal had taken refuge in the state as labourers and petty contractors and that some had even sneaked into local farmers' groups and labour organisations.
HP police also claimed there were 300 Nepalese who escaped to Nepal after committing crimes in the state couldn't be extradited since the two countries don't have extradition treaty with each other.
HP police has started putting Nepalese nationals under the scanner after the incident. nepalnews.com
