The Jhapa District Police has dismissed reports claiming that Home Minister Sudhan Gurung confiscated the mobile phones of security personnel during an inspection in Kakarbhitta as completely false and baseless.
Jhapa Police Rejects Rumors About Mobile Phone Seizure
The District Police Office in Jhapa have clarified that the news about Home Minister Sudhan Gurung taking control of mobile phones of security personnel is totally fake. Some news reports had claimed that mobile phones of Nepal Police and Armed Police Force (APF) DSPs, along with other security personnel, were seized during the Home Minister’s inspection at Kakarbhitta border point.
On Wednesday, the police office released a official press statement and said that their serious attention has been drawn towards this fake news spreading on various media and social media sites.
No Truth in Smuggling Suspicions
Earlier, some news portals and social media posts claimed that security personnel were kept under strict surveillance and their mobile phones were taken away because of suspicions about smuggling. However, Jhapa Police has strongly denied these reports, calling them completely misleading, imaginary, and without any base.
The official statement from Jhapa District Police clearly says that there is absolutely no truth in the news about Home Minister seizing mobiles or putting security officers under surveillance during his visit.
The police has also requested all media houses and social media users to not publish or share unverified news that can confuse the public.
