Kanchanpur, August 24
An indefinite curfew has been clamped yet again in Bhimdutta Nagar, Knchanpur, after a boy died in police firing on Friday afternoon.
Curfew had been lifted in the city early in the morning after protesters demanding justice for teenager Nirmala Pant, who was raped and murdered last month, agreed to allow a high-level committee to investigate the case.
However, tension ran high in the city in the afternoon after NCP leader Bhim Rawal accused the Nepali Congress of politicising the murder. Chief District Officer Tara Nath Adhikari has urged locals not to venture out of their home during the curfew.
Pant was found dead on June 26. Locals say they are not satisfied with police investigation into the case.
