The police had arrested 47 Chinese nationals on Friday after they clashed during demonstration in the restricted area of Singha Durbar. Forty-three of them were released Friday night while four were charged of misdemeanors.

A Nepal Police DSP was injured when Chinese nationals clashed with the police in the Singha Durbar Area on Friday.
