Three persons including a 12-year old girl were killed when Nepal Army personnel deployed for the security of Bardiya National Park opened fire inside the national park Wednesday night.
The deceased have been identified as Devisara B.K, 35, Amrita B.K, 33, and 12-year-old Chandrakala B.K, reports quoting local police officials said.A group of seven villagers had gone to collect barks of a certain tree.
The deceased were Dalit women from Haripur of Surkhet district. The army personnel also arrested four others during the incident.
The army has claimed that they were poachers and were killed in 'encounter'. The Department of Public Relations (DPR) of Nepal Army in a statement Thursday night said three homemade guns and four rounds of bullets were recovered from the group.
However, the locals have refuted the army's claim, saying the three women had not gone to the national park for poaching. They have claimed that they were shot and killed after being taken under control.
"It cannot be believed that the women and children had gone inside the national park with guns for poaching. They were killed after being arrested," Nagarik Dainik quoted the locals as saying.
According to the news report, Ramesh Thapa, an official at the national park, claimed the women had entered the national park for poaching and that they were claimed that were killed in 'encounter'. nepalnews.com
