A team from Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) of Nepal Police arrested Mohan Singh Rokaya, 22, of Sigas Rural Municipality-2 in Baitadi district, Anmol Tamang, 26, of Sunkoshi Rural Municipality-4 in Sindhupalchok district, and another 16-year-old, whose name and address has not been revealed, said CIB spokesperson SP Sanu Ram Bhattarai.
