Police in the Kathmandu Valley arrested 98 people during a crime-prevention and control operation conducted from Asoj 26 until 6 am on Asoj 27, District Police Range Kathmandu said. The overnight sweep was intended to prevent and control crime, according to the police. The figures released identified 76 men and 11 women among those arrested, while the provided breakdown did not specify the categories of the remaining 11 people.
Police Operation in Kathmandu Valley
The operation ran across the stated period, beginning on Asoj 26 and continuing into the early morning of Asoj 27. District Police Range Kathmandu reported the arrests after the sweep, describing its purpose as preventing and controlling crime. The information provided did not specify the locations where people were detained or explain how police selected the areas covered by the operation.
The term “sweep operation” describes the police activity, but the available details do not identify particular offences linked to the arrests. Police have not been reported as providing a breakdown of allegations, the circumstances of individual arrests, or whether those detained were later released or brought before a court. The arrest total should therefore be understood as the number reported by police for the operation, rather than as a count of people convicted of crimes.
Arrest Figures and Information Available
District Police Range Kathmandu put the total number of arrests at 98. Its reported gender figures were 76 men and 11 women. Those two figures add up to 87, leaving 11 people outside the categories specified in the information available. No further breakdown was provided for that group.
The police account also did not provide details about the ages of those arrested, the number of cases registered, or the specific actions taken after the detentions. Without those details, the public information offers a count and broad purpose for the operation, but not a fuller account of the individual cases. The report does not say whether the arrests were connected to one type of alleged offence or involved several different matters.
Crime-Control Effort
The operation was presented by District Police Range Kathmandu as part of efforts to prevent and control crime in the Kathmandu Valley. Its overnight timing and the number of arrests are the main details disclosed in the police account. Further information about the operation’s geographic reach, its enforcement priorities, or the outcomes for those arrested was not included in the details provided.
Police reported the operation’s timeframe as Asoj 26 through 6 am on Asoj 27. No year or corresponding Gregorian dates were specified in the information available. The reported total of 98 arrests remains the central figure from the operation, alongside the partial breakdown of 76 men and 11 women. Additional information from police would be needed to clarify the remaining 11 arrests and the status or allegations in each case.
