The arrests were made in Samakhusi, Kathmandu, on Saturday night, according to SSP Ramesh Thapa of the District Police Range, Kathmandu.
The operation is part of an ongoing crackdown on gang activities in the capital. On Friday night, police had already detained over 150 people in similar operations across Kathmandu.
