He stated that India will carry out a fair and impartial inquiry into the incident and help Nepal in the effort to arrive at the truth.

He also said that the two countries enjoy friendly and family like relationship with each other in all areas, including security and border cooperation.
The Union Minister said that any incident taking place even unknowingly, should be settled through joint inspection and investigation by the representatives of two sides.
The Home Minister also asked for regular meetings between DG, SSB and Nepalese counterpart agency Armed Police Force (APF).
Union Home Secretary Rajiv Mehrishi, the Ambassador of Nepal in India, Deep Kumar Upadhyaya along with senior officers of MHA and MEA were present in the meeting.
