NIJGHAD, MAY 30 - The District Court of Bara on Monday slapped life sentence along with confiscation of all the properties to two UCPN (Maoist) cadres after they were found guilty behind the murder of journalist Birendra Sah four years ago.
A single bench of Justice Bal Mukunda Dawadi announced the verdict against Mainejar Giri and Ramekwal Sahani. The duo was in custody since the past two years.
The other three suspects —Lal Bahadur Chaudhary, Hareram Patel and Kundan Faujdar— are still at large. Although the trio, also the functionaries of the Maoists, was suspended from the party for their alleged involvement in Sah’s murder, it was later reported that they were still working for the party.
Sah, reporter of Avenues TV and central member of Press Chautari, was abducted by Sahani and Faujdar from Pipara Bazaar Umjan VDC-1 of Bara on Oct. 5, 2007 and subsequently killed. His remains were found a month later buried in a forest at Dumarwana VDC of Bara.
