Nepal's Human Rights Commission Asks Govt to Punish Armymen Involved in Bardiya Killing
Probe Report Says the Three Murdered Women Were Not Poachers
The report, presented in a press conference in Kathmandu, categorically states that the Nepal Army has produced a fake report of the women attacking the security force with guns.
The report further confirms that there was no need to use any force against the women, who could easily be taken into custody for interrogation.
Locals of Bardiya have a different version on the incident. They say they heard gun shots after a day of the women's capture. Nobody in the locality agrees that the murdered women could ever carry guns or be poachers since they were familiar wage-earners in the neighborhood. Instead, they believe that the motive behind capturing and shooting down the unarmed women might be something else.
The NHRC investigation report also indicates that evidences have been concealed or destroyed.
Earlier, Defense Minister Biddhya Bhandari and Army sources had claimed that the three women killed by a patrolling team were well-armed poachers, who first opened fire at the Army personnel.
