Kathmandu, January 12
Members of the National Assembly have said taking action against murderers of Dilip Kumar Mahato, who was allegedly killed on Friday morning for obstructing illegal sand mining in his neighborhood in Dhanusha district, will not be enough.
They say the government should take steps to ensure that such incidents never repeat in the future.
Speaking at the Upper House meeting in Kathmandu on Sunday, lawmaker Bimala Rai Paudyal said, “Expressing our condolences and taking action against the culprits will not be enough for this incident. Such incidents should not have taken place. Now, the government should make sure that they never repeat.”
Likewise, Brishesh Chandra Lal suspected that police were not willing to take action against the culprits as they removed the victim’s body from the incident site without proper investigation.
