Court records statements on Krishna Prasad Adhikari murder

The Chitwan District Court on Sunday began recording statements of witnesses named by plaintiffs and defenders over the Krishna Prasad Adhikari murder case. A Court official Bidyaraj Paudel said the hearing began today. While 41 witnesses have registered their names to record statements, only eight including seven from plaintiffs and one from defendants’ sides got the chance today. Total 33 witnesses – 13 from plaintiffs and 20 from defendants – are yet to get the turns.

Adhikari, then a teenage boy from Phujel-7 of Gorkha district, was allegedly killed by the then CPN-Maoist cadres in Chitwan on June 6, 2004. Few days after the crime, the victim’s father late Nanda Prasad Adhikari had filed a complaint with police demanding action against murderers. The victim’s brother Nur Prasad had also filed another complaint against 13 persons for their involvement in the murder of his younger sibling, after 1.5 years. Following the dual complaints, police had moved the Court.
