KATHMANDU: Following multiple explosions in Kathmandu this evening, police have arrested at least nine cadres of Netra Bikram Chand (Biplav)-led Communist Party of Nepal (CPN).

Police apprehended seven persons in possession of four pressure cooker bombs, pamphlets of Biplav-led CPN and other explosive materials from Koteshwor.

Likewise, two persons were injured when a bomb they were carrying accidentally went off at Ittabhatta Chowk in Chandragiri Municipality, on the western outskirts of Kathmandu, police shared.

The injured are currently undergoing treatment at a local health facility.

Similarly, various suspicious objects have been found in Sanepa, Gwarko among other places in the valley. Nepal Army bomb disposal units have reached the sites to dispose these suspicious objects.

Meanwhile, security has been beefed-up in the valley to thwart any untoward activity in the capital.

The CPN has called for Nepal Banda tomorrow.
