Dang, January 24
Police in the Dang district of Lumbini have arrested a jailbird who had run away with a policeman’s motorbike from the jail around one month ago.
Yam Raj Pandit, who had run away from the Ghorahi Jail on December 23, 2021, has been arrested near the Indian border recently, according to police.
Pariyar was doing a time in connection with the murder case.
On that day, Pariyar had asked police constable Dhan Bahadur Chaudhary to take him to a health facility for his skin treatment. As Pariyar was a leader of the jailbird, Chaudhary had believed in him and took him to the facility on his bike (Lu 34 Pa 410).
Investigations revealed the duo went to a hotel before the hospital, where Pariyar locked the police constable and his girlfriend before he ran away on Chaudhary’s bike.
Later, police also arrested Chaudhary and his girlfriend in connection with the case. They are still in judicial custody.
