Extrajudicial Killings

On April 26, 2006 a group of security personnel opened fire on people demonstrating against the killing of Sapana Gurung (described above). These six people were killed, and dozens were injured.
These killings were also investigated by the Parliamentary Probe Committee (see above, Sapana Gurung) which recommended action against 28 security forces personnel and the CDO. It also awarded Rs 1 million (US$13,070) compensation to each family.

Developments

There has been no further progress. In May 2010, the police claimed that the file submitted to Parliamentary Probe Committee has not been returned yet.

There have been no further developments in the case.
