Kathmandu, April 16
The Metropolitan Police Commissioner’s Office has taken action against a police officer after the personnel under his command reportedly beat up three doctors who were returning home from their hospital in Kathmandu.
DSP Umesh Lamsal has been removed from his duty and called back to the commissioner’s office in Ranipokhari as a punishment after the personnel from the Metropolitan Police Circle in Maharajgunj assaulted the doctors of Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital last night.
The chief of the office, DIG Bishwa Raj Pokharel, says Lamsal has been removed from the position for investigation.
Meanwhile, the office also formed a three-member team led by SSP Kiran Bajracharya to look into the case. SP Mukesh Singh and DSP Hobindra Bogati are other members of the team.
The panel has been told to complete its assignment and submit the report as soon as possible.
