Abducted people found dead in Rautahat


The dead bodies of two people, abducted by the Maoists six days ago, have been found at Inaruwa VDC, Rautahat Saturday morning.
Bodies of Sambhu Sahani and Shyam Sundar Sahani, sons of Congress District Working Committee member Jyogindra Sahani, were found buried near a river.
The Maoists, after bombing the house of Sahani had abducted the slain brothers from Basantapatti village development committee (VDC) of the district accusing them of trying to disrupt a Maoist meeting.
Reports quoted Superintendent of Police Keshav Adhikari as saying that the badly mutilated bodies were found buried at a local river bank.
The Maoists however, have claimed the Sahani brothers of being dacoits and that the villagers themselves had beaten the brothers to death.
Locals have strongly refuted the Maoists' claim of villagers doing the killings, pointing out that it was the rebels who did the brothers in.
Meanwhile, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights in Nepal has begun an investigation into the incident.
There has been no let up in the atrocities of the rebels despite ceasefire announced by them.
