A suspicious object was found in front of the Itahari Sub-Metropolitan Office in Sunsari. It was inside a black bag near a roadside stall.
Suman Timilsina, Superintendent of Police at Sunsari District Police Office, informed me that a team from the Nepal Army has been deployed to neutralize the object.
According to him, there was also information about bombs being placed near Bhotepul and Budhi Khola, but only the black bag in front of the sub-metropolitan office has been found so far. No suspicious object was found at Bhotepul. A team with trained dogs has been sent to search under the Budhi Khola bridge, where a suspicious object inside a sack is suspected.
Around 4:30 AM today, the Itahari Area Police Office received a message from a group claiming to be royalists, stating that bombs had been placed in three locations and an armed struggle had begun. Police are investigating the incident and searching for those responsible for identifying the objects and providing the information.
