Maoists demonstrate in front of police office against death of party cadre

Hundreds of Maoist cadres staged demonstration in front of the Metropolitan Police Post at Balaju, Kathmandu, Sunday evening, against the suspicious death of their fellow cadre.

Maoists and the kin of the deceased have accused the UML-affiliated Youth Force of killing Phuyal after abducting him.

Police has said, they found Phuyal lying unconscious on the roadside and died while he was being taken to Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital for treatment.

The Maoist cadres staged demonstrations in front of the police post and tried to vandalise it accusing the police of not informing the kins of the deceased earlier. Phuyal had died on Thursday, while his family got the information on Sunday.

Earlier, Maoist cadres had staged demonstrations at TUTH, where Phuyal's post-mortem was carried out. nepalnews.com Jun 14 09
