Nakhhu, June 7
Last night, Cadres of the CPN-UML aligned Youth Force (YF) made an attempt on the life of Khilanath Dhakal, a stringer of the Nagarik Daily.
Dhakal was attacked by the YF cadres in connection with a report published in the daily. In the story, Dhakal had mentioned that some YF cadres had made a murder attempt on inmate Avishek Giri of the Morang jail while he was being brought to the district court for a hearing on June 1.
The Federation of Nepali Journalists (Morang) today moved the Morang District Administration Office against Morang YF chairman Parashuram Basnet, Youth Association Biratnagar city chief Rohit Koirala and cadre Manoj Rai for their involvement in yesterday’s attack. Police today caught Koirala in connection with the incident. With injuries all over the body and nose bone fractured in the attack, Dhakal is undergoing treatment at Nobel Hospital.
