Following the incident, India has taken up the matter with the Nepal government. The firing incident came amid tension between India and Nepal after Kathmandu passed an amendment to include in the constitution a new map that showed Indian areas of Kalapani, Lipulekh, and Limpiyadhura as part of its territory.
In fact, the family of Indian citizen Lagan Kishore was detained in Nepal, but they returned to their hometown after being freed.
