Maoists abduct over forty students and teachers, kill two civilians

The Maoists on Friday abducted forty students and six teachers from Kantheswar High School of Tokharpur VDC in Ramechhap district Nepal, reports said Monday.

The rebels have taken the abducted students and teachers to some unknown place in the neighbouring Kavre district to give them 'militia training'.

The parents, the school family, political parties and rights activists have appealed to the Maoist rebels to immediately release the abducted students and teachers.

Meanwhile, Maoist rebels have shot dead one civilian each in Rupandehi and Siraha district on Sunday evening.

In Rupendehi the rebels shot Prem Bahadur Darlami who later died in a hospital in Rupandehi while Ram Prasad Yadav was shot and killed at Shiv Chowk of Siraha district. Yadav, who was a former DDC member of Siraha district, was also a local Rashtriya Prajatantra Party leader.

The Maoists accused both Yadav and Darlami of spying against them. nepalnews.com Sphere: Related Content
