The Sirsiya River, once central to daily life, agriculture, and religious rituals in southern Nepal, is now heavily polluted with industrial waste and sewage, rendering it a public health hazard.

The arrests come as the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission conducts broader investigations into alleged abuse of power and corruption in e-waste handling in Malaysia, which is one of the top destinations in Asia for illegal imports.
