A local was killed and two others injured in alleged firing by Nepal police personnel along the India-Nepal border in Bihar's Sitamarhi district on Friday, officials said.

One person was killed and two others injured in the firing, the IG said. The Sashastra Seema Bal is not involved in the issue.
