Maoists apologise for Baglung incident

BAGLUNG, Feb 20 (PR) - Maoists have today apologised to the parents of two students killed and one seriously injured in a shooting incident at Prabha Secondary School here on Tuesday.

According to local witnesses, the two students died and one was injured while the Maoists were instructing them on how to use guns. The Maoists however claim that the deaths were the result of an accident, caused by the faulty trigger of a gun, which was being placed on the ground.

Reports indicate that a group of armed Maoists said to be campaigning for constituent assembly, entered the school premises at 10 am on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, security personnel have been deployed in the area to investigate the incident and track down those responsible for the deaths.
