Flood victims clash with police in Inaruwa

Protesting flood victims of Inaruwa, Sunsari district, clashed with the police Sunday afternoon.

At least half a dozen police officials received minor injuries as the flood victims of Inaruwa, who were demonstrating in front of the District Police Office against the death of one Kushmi Devi in ‘police beating’ three days earlier. The protesters demanded that the police administration provide compensation to Kushmi Devi’s family.

Police officials, however, denied the locals’ claim that the 70 years old woman died due to beating.

There have been frequent clashes between the police and flood victims since Wednesday evening. The local administration had to impose day curfew following violent clashes during the protests on Thursday. nepalnews.com mk Aug 05 07
