Mar 28, Kathmandu- The government has deployed a team from the Criminal Investigation Department of the Nepal Police to arrest Durga Prasai, commander of the Joint People's Movement Committee (JPMC)  for the Restoration of the Monarchy.

In a briefing held by the heads of security agencies with Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli, the security officer informed that the police have been mobilized to arrest Prasai, who is the main planner of the Tinkune incident.
