Police urge Interpol to search for two youths of Gorkha arrested in Tibet

Police have urged the International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol) to find the whereabouts of two youths of Gorkha who were arrested in Tibet, autonomous region of China.

The District Police Office, Gorkha on Sunday submitted an application to Interpol urging it to trace the location of Rapke Lama and Karma Cheden Lama of Lama Gaun, Chumanubri Rural Municipality-7, Gorkha, who were nabbed by Tibet police one-and-a-half month ago.

“The way was opened for us to investigate about them after the family members of the youths filed a complaint at the Area Police Office, Chekampar on Thursday,” SP Basudev Pathak said, adding, “We have submitted an application to Interpol today with the permission of Provincial Police Office Pokhara.”

SP Pathak said that the Interpol will search for them in coordination with Beijing-based Interpol.

“The duo had gone to Bhajyupa to search for Yarsagumba on April 29, but they did not return home till late night. On May 16, outgoing ward Chairman Pasang Lama got a call from Sigatse Police Office, Tibet and told him that the missing youths are under the control of Sigatse Police,” an application submitted by Karma Chetan’s wife stated.

Earlier on June 11, speaking at a Parliament meeting, Nepali Congress lawmaker Rajendra Bajagain had sought information from the government about the condition of two youths of Gorkha who were arrested in Tibet, autonomous region of China.

Bajagain said that he had got information that the Tibet police called Rapke Lama and Karma Cheden Lama of Lama Gaun, Chumanubri Rural Municipality-7, Gorkha to Tibet and took them under control one-and-a-half month ago.

Annapurna Post, the sister publication of The Annapurna Express, on June 9 had published the news about the arrest of two youths of Gorkha in Tibet.
