A man, who was convicted on human trafficking charge and was on the run for over six years, has been arrested.
Min Bahadur BK, alias Aarne Maila, a resident of Kanchanpur-5 in Rupandehi district, who was sentenced to 30 years in prison by the Kapilvastu District Court in 2015, was arrested on Tuesday from Buddhanagar of Sainamaina Municipality-5.
A police team led by Superintendent of Police Jaggannath Marasini had made the arrest.
Following the arrest, the felon was taken to the Kapilvastu District Court and was sent to the Kapilvastu Prison, the same day, to serve time.
BK was first arrested in November of 2013 while he was trafficking two women to India. He had lured the woman by promising them stable well-paying jobs.
Following an investigation, the Krishnanagar-based Area Police office had filed the case at the district court in December 2013. BK was on the run following the court verdict in 2015 that found him guilty of human trafficking.
