A breakthrough in the fight against human trafficking has been achieved with the arrest of Dilip Raut, a Nepalese national wanted by Interpol. Raut, a resident of Dhanusha district, was apprehended by Kuwaiti authorities following an international arrest warrant issued by Interpol on October 4, 2024.
Nepal Police had been actively pursuing Raut, who had been on the run for some time and had requested Interpol’s assistance in locating and apprehending him. The successful collaboration between Nepali and Kuwaiti law enforcement agencies led to Raut’s arrest and subsequent extradition to Nepal.
Upon his return, Raut was handed over to the Human Trafficking Investigation Bureau for further legal proceedings. Authorities are now investigating the extent of his involvement in human trafficking and smuggling operations.
This arrest highlights the increasing global cooperation in combating human trafficking and underscores the determination of law enforcement agencies to bring perpetrators to justice.
