KATHMANDU: Nepal’s army said on Thursday (Sept 11) that it has recaptured nearly 200 prisoners after mass jailbreaks during deadly protests that toppled the government, a fraction of the thousands on the run.
Around 13,500 detainees escaped from prisons nationwide during the chaos, the police said, leaving security forces scrambling to regain control.
