Concerns over Peace Committee berth to murder accused

THT ONLINE
KATHMANDU: Accountability Watch Committee (AWC) has expressed its concern over the nomination of Devendra Poudel, one of the murder accused of teacher Muktinath Adhikari, as the coordinator of Lamjung District Peace Committee.

Adhikari, the principal of Lamjung-based Panini Sanskrit School, was brutally killed by a group of Maoists after abducting him from the school premises nine years ago.

Issuing a statement, AWC Chairman Sushil Pyakurel accused the government of backing impunity by rewarding the murder accused by picking up him at the Peace Committee a day after the victim’s family filed a case against him at the District Police Office.

Adhkari’s widow filed the case against four including Poudel, Jita, Sadhuram alias Prabhuram Ghimire of Bhorletar and Dhruba Adhikari of Kaski last week.

The AWC urged the government to look into the case and not to reward the ones accused of human rights violations.

In the case, Indira has mentioned the incident of January 16, 2002, when Muktinath was accosted by a group of Maoist cadres led by Devendra, Sadhuram and Dhruba in the class before he was taken to Duradanda and murdered.

She has also mentioned that the same group had sought donation from Muktinath during Dashain the previous year.
