Anti-corruption protesters rearrested at KATHMANDU

KATHMANDU, FEB 24 -

Police arrested four anti-corruption campaigners from Shanti Batika, Ratnapark, in the Capital on Sunday.

Anti-corruption campaigners Shyam Lal Sah, Sharada Bhusal Jha, Sangita Thapa and Binod Mandal were arrested at about 9 am from the Batika where they had launched fast-unto-death campaign.

The campaigners had also been arrested on Friday in front of the Commission for Investigation of Abuse of Authority where they had launched fast-unto-death campaign. They were released from the Kamalpokhari police station this morning.

The campaigners had staged the fast-unto-death campaign after the national anti-corruption body paid no heed to their demand of beginning an investigation into the corruption complaint filed four years ago. The campaigners had filed a complaint against the Banauli Damauli and Laharpatti VDCs at the CIAA, claiming that the concerned VDC secretaries had misused millions of rupees allocated for local bodies.
