CHITWAN, Oct 27: Three Nepali youths have been kept in custody in India on the charge of assisting Indian Maoists. Kabindra Chaudhary, Baliram Chaudhary and Jeet Bahadur Chaudhary of Nawalparasi district were arrested by India´s Seema Suraksha Bal (SSB) from Bhainsalotan, an Indian market located near Nawalparasi, while returning to Nepal. SSB have handed them over to the Bagajha district police office of Bihar.



However, family members of the arrested youths have denied the SSB´s allegations. [break]According to the family members, they had gone to Bhainsalotan for medical checkup and were arrested by the SSB police patrol at Ramnagar of Bhaisalotan.



The SSB have claimed that they arrested the three youths because they recovered pamphlets of Indian Maoists from them.



Kabindra and Jitendra are also the members of the UCPN (Maoist).



"They had been to India for their treatment. We have no policy of supporting Indian Maoists," said Dronababu Shivakoti, Nawalparasi´s assistant in-charge of the UCPN (Maoist).



Family members of the youths have also claimed that they had gone to India for treatment. "The SSB´s allegations are baseless. He had gone to India for treatment," said Prem Kumari, wife of Kabindra.



Prem Kumari, Jeet Bahadur´s wife Rita and Baliram´s wife Chanamatiya have jointly appealed to the public for the release of their husbands.



They have also drawn the attention of various political parties and the National Human Rights Commission for the release of their husbands.
