SC issues show cause notice on Thapa's murder
The Supreme Court issued a show cause notice to the government on the murder of Umesh Chandra Thapa, a pro-democracy activist, on the day of controversial municipal election held by royal government.
Acting upon a writ petition filed at the Supreme Court, a single bench of Justice Bal Ram KC, issued the order in the name of the government.
Thapa’s son filed a case at the apex court demanding formation of a law against impunity, compensation to the victim’s family and action against the culprit.
Earlier, the Supreme Court administration had rejected to entertain the writ on February 28, but later accepted the writ petition.
Security forces shot dead Thapa, while he was returning home after organizing a demonstration against the controversial municipal poll on mid-western Dang district on February 8
