7 June 2021, Kathmandu: Since the day 17-year old Krishna Prasad Adhikari was brutally murdered by Maoist cadres on (24 Jestha 2061) 6 June 2004 in Bakulahar Chowk of Tandi, Chitwan, Ganga Maya Adhikari has been continuously fighting for truth and justice. Ganga Maya along with her husband Nanda Prasad Adhikari started a hunger strike as a part of Satyagraha on 5 February 2012, demanding no amnesty to those who were involved in the murder of their son. The Government turned blind eye to their demands of justice and on 22 September 2014, Nanda Prasad Adhikari passed away, leaving Gangamaya all alone in her journey to justice. Gangamaya’s resilience to seek justice has not shaken yet.
AF condemns the failure of the Government in carrying out independent and impartial investigation and prosecute those responsible and ensuring justice to Gangamaya and her family members.
AF expresses its solidarity with Gangamaya Adhikari on her persistent fight for justice for her son and husband and provides necessary legal assistance as requested in Gangamaya’s public appeal issued today and calls for impartial and independent re- investigation in the case and ensure justice to Gangamaya.
