Nepal: Maoist students ‘abduct’ campus chief, his assistant in Kailali

Feb 15, 2017- Chief and assistant chief of the Lamki Multiple Campus in Lamki, Kailali, were allegedly abducted by students afiliated to the Netrta Bikram Chand-led All Nepal National Independent Students Union (Revolutionary) (ANNISU-R) on Wednesday.

According to eyewitnesses, the students abducted Bhisma Thapa and Kamal Bista to press their demand to halt the Free Student Union (FSU) election.

Police said that they are investigating into the case.

Students set campus chief chair on fire 

Meanwhile, ANNISU-R students at Damak Multiple Campus, Jhapa, set  campus chief Uttam Bhattarai chair on fire.

ANNISU-R, Samajbadi Student Forum and Rastirya Prajatantrik Student Union, among others, had padlocked the office of campus chief six days ago demanding inclusion in the FSU.

Five student unions, however, had broken the padlock this morning demanding the election be held on time.

The arsonists fled the scene after the incident.

Police said that they are searching for the miscreants.
