Butwal, December 26
Inspector General of Police Sarbendra Khanal says there is no security threat from Netra Bikram Chand (Biplav) and his party.
Khanal, who was speaking at a community-police partnership programme in at Deep Boarding School in Butwal, mentioned that neither Biplav’s party nor any other extremist group threatens security in the country.
“We don’t need to be afraid of parties who are against the new constitution. I would like to assure you that police are capable of dealing with them,” he added. Talking about the Nirmala Pant murder case, he informed that four teams were investigating the incident. He added that police had a 97 per cent success rate when it came to violence against women.
“I agree we haven’t been successful in this case and that has resulted in the public losing trust in the force. But we want the community to trust police and help us eradicate violence from the society,” he said.
The students of the school told Khanal that the way police have handled the Pant muder case makes it hard for them to trust them. They added that the trust would only come back after the culprit was brought to justice.
