Fifteen personnel of the armed police force (APF) who had taken their commandant into captivity three weeks ago were arrested on Tuesday. The decision to arrest the rebel APF personnel came after security agencies, including the Nepal Army, quelled fresh revolt in the Nepal police in Banke district. The personnel had rebelled against the oppressive brass and held around two dozen high ranking officers captive, demanding fair treatment. Soon after the mutiny in the APF, an Assistant Inspector General of the Police, and a joint secretary rank officials reached the spot and signed an accord with the rebels. The senior officials had not only promised on behalf the Government that they would not be tried, but they had also praised the personnel for raising issues of general concern.
