There have been a series of protests in Kathmandu by the pro-monarchists demanding the reinstatement of monarchy and the establishment of Nepal as a Hindu state.
Police in Nepal on Friday arrested the main person behind the March 28 pro-monarchy protests in the capital Kathmandu that killed two persons.
Nepal Police said in a statement that Durga Prasai, who was involved in the violent protests of Tinkune, Kathmandu, was arrested from Jhapa district bordering India along with his bodyguard.
Mr Prasai was charged with state offence and organised crime.
According to media reports, Prasai was arrested in Assam by the local police there and handed over to Nepal Police, who brought him to Jhapa, where he was formally arrested.
However, there was no extradition treaty currently effective between Nepal and India, so the arrest of Prasai in Assam was not disclosed, the report said.
