Officials in Nepal say about 200 riot policemen based in a camp in the southwest of the country have taken several senior police officers hostage to protest ill treatment and poor food.

A home ministry official says the the government has instructed the police chief to do whatever is required to maintain discipline in the force and deal with the situation.
