On September 29, 2004, during Armed Police Force operations in Premnagar village of Khaskusma VDC ward no. 4, security personnel detained brothers Dhaniram and Jorilal Chaudhari, and then allegedly shot them while in custody. When the victims’ wives tried to recover the bodies, security personnel threatened them.
Developments
There was no investigation even after registering the FIR.
On June 18, 2009 the family filed a writ petition at the Appellate Court, Nepalgunj.
On January 13, 2010, the Nepalgunj Appellate Court ordered the authorities to proceed with the investigations.
Advocacy Forum has repeatedly urged the authorities to implement the court order. In response, the police and public prosecutor maintain that the army does not respond to their letters.
