HoR Meeting: Action against culprit of criminal cases demanded

Kathmandu: Parliamentarian Abdul Khan has demanded bringing culprits of cases of murder, violence, and kidnapping to book.

Janamat Party's Khan, in a House of Representatives (HoR) meeting held on Wednesday,  expressed his concern over increasing criminal cases in the Terai-Madhesh region and insisted the culprits be brought to be brought under the ambit of the law.

Demanding time in the meeting, he called for ensuring peace and order in Terai Madhesh where, he added, people were living with the fear of murder, terror, and loot.

'People in Terai-Madhesh are living with fear and panic. The situation of peace and order has deteriorated. Cases of loot are rising and when the victims go to file a complaint to police, it is said that they do not consider taking complaints,' the parliamentarian asserted.

He said Basiran Khatun of Koshi rural municipality-3 in Sunsari district was murdered on the pretext of dowry and was found hanging in a banyan tree along the Koshi River at Hanumannagar of Saptari district. He ruled that the complaints are not registered in the police station due to various pressures.

Similarly, Khan cited another incident where two brothers- Tiru Yadav and Ram Kumar Yadav- of Gaidahawa rural municipality-1 in Rupandehi district were recently stabbed in a local shop. He informed me that one was critically hurt in the incident and was receiving treatment at present.

Likewise, Khan mentioned another case that occurred on May 25 where a 30-year-old Tara Khatik of Gobrepur rural municipality in Bardia district was severely thrashed and the victim hanged herself the same night.

He ranted that the local police refused to file complaints in all the above-mentioned cases. Against this, he demanded that the government should enable peace and order and protect the lives of citizens.
