Kathmandu : The Nepal Foreign Ministry hastaken a strong exception to the news reports that appeared in a section of Pakistani media alleging that Ajmal Kasab – the youth arrested for his involvement in Mumbai attacks – was once arrested in Nepal and handed over to India.
In a statement issued by the Ministry, it has expressed profound dissatisfaction over a news item published in Pakistan’s daily newspaper ‘The News” on December 15 with the headline ‘Ajmal Kasab kidnapped from Nepal before 2006.’
The Ministry has said the news was baseless and was published only to negatively portray the image of the country.
“The Ministry hereby refutes the news report in the strongest term and states Ajmal Kasab was neither arrested in Nepal nor was he handed over to any other country,” the Ministry stated.
