Kathmandu, November 4

A local of Gauradaha in Jhapa district has accused his Provincial Minister for Internal Affairs and Law, Hikmat Karki, of threatening to kill him.

Tanka Khanal from Gauradaha Municipality-2 has filed a complaint at the local police station stating the minister threatened to kill him over a local road construction project.

Earlier, locals had staged a demonstration against the contractor of road project stating the contractor did not follow the agreement. They had also obstructed the construction works. Khanal says the Minister issued the threat in retaliation to the locals’ efforts.

Khanal adds that Karki called him on Saturday morning and said, “Who did authorise you to obstruct the road? I will soon come there and finish you.”

Karki is also a resident of Gauradaha Municipality.
