Kathmandu, May 4
Two lawmakers of the ruling Nepal Communist Party and a former chief of Nepal Police have submitted a letter to the constitutional human rights body, National Human Rights Commission, claiming they did not abduct People’s Socialist Party lawmaker Surendra Yadav as he had alleged earlier.
Four days after Yadav filed a complaint against them at the commission, lawmakers Mahesh Basnet, Krishna Kumar Shrestha ‘Kisan’ and former chief of Nepal Police, Sarbendra Khanal, went to the commission office and submitted the letter dismissing the allegation.
Earlier on April 23, Yadav had claimed the three had forced him to come to Kathmandu from his house in Mahottari district as the ruling party was arranging for the Samajwadi Party’s split. However, the Samajwadi Party merged with the Rastriya Janata Party Nepal on the same day to form the People’s Socialist Party Nepal.
The accused, however, have been insisting Yadav had agreed to come to Kathmandu to talk to Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli.
