Kathmandu, April 17: The Indian embassy in Nepal's Biratnagar was attacked on Monday night, damaging a wall.  As per various media reports, two people on motorcycle planted the bomb. No injuries have been reported so far. Superintendent of Police Arun Kumar BC said the office wall on the west side was slightly damaged in the explosion, according to Dainik Nepal. Security has been beefed up, following the attack.

The role of ISI is suspected to be behind the attack and also said that they are planning attacks on other Indian embassies also. However, The Kathmandu Post reports that the investigating officers suspect cadres of Netra Bikram Chand’s Communist Party of Nepal to have caused the blast. The party had called a general strike in Biratnagar on Monday.

In the past, there have been several instances when the Indian embassy in foreign locations have been attacked. Last year, a rocket landed inside Indian embassy in Kabul. No casualties were reported then. However, the 2008 bombing of Indian embassy killed 58 people and wounded 141.
