Kathmandu, October 29
A group of 37 leaders of the ruling Nepal Communist Party have claimed a cadre of the party was ‘murdered’ in Parsa district of southern Nepal recently, demanding action against the culprits.
Mukesh Chaurasiya from Prasauni, Bindhyabasini rural municipality-5 of Parsa, was injured in a clash between two groups of the NCP cadres on October 22. He had succumbed to injuries the next day.
In a statement on Thursday, 37 including central leaders such as Matrika Yadav, Nagendra Chaudhary, Mahendra Paswan and Ram Chandra Jha have also complained the District Police Office has refused to register an FIR in the case.
“The police have ridiculed the rule of law. They have fallen from their responsibility,” reads the statement.
The leaders have claimed Chaurasiya’s death was a premeditated murder, demanding stern action against the culprits.
A few days ago, the party’s chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal had also issued a statement demanding action against the culprits.
