Chitwan, April 16: The Unified CPN (Maoist) and the CPN-Maoist have staged a sit-in at the District Administration Office, Chitwan since 10 am today, demanding the release of the people arrested on the charge of murdering Krishna Prasad Adhikari of Fujel, Gorkha.
The two parties are jointly staging the sit in at the District Administration Office, calling for the immediate release of the people arrested on the murder charge arguing that the conflict-era cases should be investigated only by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and the Commission of Inquiry on Disappearances.
Former coordinator of the UCPN (Maoist), Chitwan Ghanshyam Dahal said that the sit in would be carried out until 12 and a corner assembly organised in front of the District Court after that.
Recording the statement of two of the arrestees is taking place at the District Court today also. Chhabilal Poudel has been testifying to the court in this connection since Tuesday afternoon and the court plans to conclude recording statements of the two accused today itself.
The court will start hearings whether to remand the arrestees in judicial custody after the conclusion of the recording of statements from them. Twenty advocates, including senior advocate Chandeshwar Shrestha and former general secretary of Nepal Bar Association Raman Shrestha, are ready to plead on behalf the defendants. RSS
