Maoists abduct NC activist
Post Report
DAILEKH, Oct 13 - A group of armed Maoist rebels on Thursday
night abducted a senior Nepali Congress (NC) activist from his house in Narayan
municipality-3.
Mani Ram Regmi, secretary of Nepali Congress Dailekh district
committee, was abducted at about 11 p.m. last night by the armed rebels. He was on the
eleventh day of his mother’s mourning period, family members said.
According to an eyewitness Mukund Acharya, Regmi was
forcefully taken away from his home while he was still in his mourning dress by
threatening him of life in case of resistance.
Maoists told Regmi’s family that they were taking him as
they needed "some information from him" and would leave him as soon as their
works were finished.
Regmi’s abduction came two days after Maoists abducted
Tarun Dal district president Ratna Prasad Sharma. Tarun Dal is the youth wing of NC, the
ruling party.
