Govt attorney also refuses to register Surendra Yadav’s abduction complaint

Kathmandu District Government Attorney Office

Kathmandu, April 28

The Kathmandu District Government Attorney Office has also refused to register a complaint against two lawmakers of the ruling Nepal Communist Party and a former chief of Nepal Police.

Earlier on Sunday, the Metropolitan Police Range in Kathmandu had also refused to register the complaint citing it would not fall under their jurisdiction.

Top leaders of the newly unified People’s Socialist Party Nepal pleaded with the chief of the Government Attorney Office, Hari Prasad Regmi, to register the complaint, but could not convince him even in two hours.

They had gone to the Babarmahal-based Government Attorney Office to file the complaint claiming lawmakers Mahesh Basnet and Kisan Shrestha, and former IGP Sarbendra Khanal abducted the party leader Surendra Yadav last week.

Earlier, it was reported that the three had forced Yadav to come to Kathmandu from his house in Mahottari district as the ruling party was arranging for the Samajwadi Party’s split. However, the Samajwadi Party had merged with the Rastriya Janata Party Nepal on the same day to form the People’s Socialist Party Nepal. After the plan failed, Yadav had said the trio forced him to come to Kathmandu.

The accused, however, have been insisting Yadav had agreed to come to Kathmandu to talk to Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli.
