Butwal shuts against couple murder
RUPANDEHI: A day after a group shot dead businessman Ramesh Bhandari and his wife Asha at the Jaycees Chowk in Butwal, infuriated locals shut Butwal and brought vehicular movement to a halt for two hours to mount pressure on the authorities to arrest the killers.
Final rites of the Bhandari couple were conducted on the Tinau River banks. Through slogans, participants at the funeral procession demanded that local authorities swing into action and bring the killers to book. They threatened to launch an agitation from Friday if the murderers were not arrested.
Meanwhile, Dan Bahadur Karki, DSP, said the police had already arrested five suspects and were collecting information from them. He pledged to speed up the investigation.
