Despite pandemic restrictions, police believe smugglers are still moving drugs into Nepal

Covid-19 has increased the prices of drugs and smugglers are willing to take risks to make profit.

On Tuesday, the Metropolitan Crime Division in coordination with Bhaktapur Metropolitan Police Range arrested three people, two from Sallaghari area of Bhaktapur and one from Budanilakantha of Kathmandu, who were smuggling drugs from India in the guise of transporting essential goods.
