Extrajudicial Killings
On October 1, 2004, security personnel arrested these five men from their homes. According to eyewitnesses, they were first beaten and later, around 5 a.m., security forces shot and killed them. People dressed in civilian clothing but claiming to be security forces later informed the families that the men had been killed because of false information identifying them as Maoists.
Developments
The family tried to register a FIR but police refused.
Relatives are intending to file a writ petition at the Janakpur Appellate Court to obtain an order for police to register the FIR.
