Christians stage rally demanding probe into church bombing

The local Christian community in Kathmandu staged a protest rally on Sunday, demanding quick probe into the bombing in a church in Lalitpur on May 23.

Hundreds of Christians joined in the rally, marching through the main thoroughfares in central Kathmandu. A number of Christian organisations were involved in the protest rally.

They called for guarantee of religious freedom and demanded action against those involved in the bomb blast inside the Assumption Church located at Dhobighat, which killed two churchgoers and injured several others.

A day after the blast, the government had formed a three-member probe committee led by Deputy Inspector General of police Kuber Singh Rana, which is yet to submit its report.

Nobody has been arrested in connection with the bomb attack in the church. A Hindu extremist group called Nepal Defence Army had claimed responsibility for the blast. nepalnews.com mk May 31 09
