Ganga Gauchan and Pahalbir BK (alias Pahal Singh)

Extrajudicial Killings

On July 11, 2004, four soldiers from Khadgadal Barracks beat Ganga Gauchan and Pahalbir BK. According to several witnesses, the soldiers then shot and killed them. Families of the two victims were threatened by members of the army and forced to dispose of the bodies immediately.

Developments in 2008 – 2009

There was no investigation even after registering the FIR.
On June 18, 2009 the families filed separate petitions of mandamus at the Appellate Court, Baglung.
On November 11, 2009, the Appellate Court, Baglung issued identical orders for police to initiate investigations without delay.
Despite this order, Advocacy Forum lawyers have not been able to find any evidence of progress in police files.
