Fifteen persons, including two Indian nationals, have been arrested in Nepal on charges of illegally selling libido-enhancement pills and other health related items.
They were arrested during raids carried out by the Central Investigation Bureau of Nepal Police at 12 different stores in Kathmandu Valley yesterday.

The suspects were running the business with or without registering their firms with the agencies concerned, CIB spokesperson Jeevan Shrestha was quoted as saying by the Himalayan Times.

For the sale of the health products, they would publish and broadcast ads on media with money-back guarantee if a buyer was not satisfied with the product or service, he said.
The agency has also confiscated a huge cache of illegal health products.
The arrested Indian nationals are identified as Bikash Goyal and Major Singh.
