Locals of Duhabi Municipality in Sunsari district of eastern Nepal have continued demonstrating a protest against a murder of a local on Thursday as well.
Mohammad Fida Hussain was shot dead by unidentified persons on Wednesday morning, and locals had resorted to the demonstration carrying his body in the afternoon.
