Maoist leadership signs 7-point agreement with Shrestha family
Maoist chairman Prachanda and the family of slain businessman Ramhari
Shrestha signed a seven-point agreement Tuesday morning, which brought to
an end the protest programmes being carried out by Shrestha's family and
kin for the last one week.
As stated in the agreement jointly signed by Prachanda, Ramhari's wife
Ramila and coordinator of Koteshwor Struggle Committee, Gyan Kumar
Shrestha, the Maoists have owned up responsibility for the killing and
have apologised for it.
The Maoists have also agreed to cooperate with the government's probe
commission, take action against the guilty and provide 'relief' to the
victim's family.
Shrestha was killed by Maoist army men in Chitwan after abducting him from
his house in Koteshwor three weeks ago.
His body was found in Trishuli River, Chitwan, on Sunday and was brought
to Kathmandu yesterday. His last rites are being formed at Pashupati
Aryaghat this afternoon. nepalnews.com mk May 27 08
