Butwal. The police have detained two people, including Akram Khan, the coordinator of the Lumbini Bachau Mahabhiyan. The police arrested Khan, the coordinator of the grand campaign against the appointment of the newly appointed vice-chairman of the Lumbini Development Fund, Ani Choing Dolma, on Monday (November 9) night.
District Police Office Rupandehi has informed that two persons have been arrested on the charge of disturbing public peace and order.
According to the police, they were arrested on the charge of disrupting public peace and order by carrying out disorderly activities in a public place located in Lumbini Cultural Municipality-6 of Rupandehi.
Those arrested are 61-year-old Khan of Lumbini Cultural Municipality-6 and 33-year-old Wajiuddin Muslim of Ward No.-9. The police said that further investigation is underway on them.
Meanwhile, Mahabhiyan co-coordinator Ram Vikas Chaudhary said that the police arrested Khan while he was sleeping at home in the middle of the night. Ever since Ani Choing was appointed as the Vice President of the Lumbini Development Fund, Maha Abhiyan has been protesting in phases.
Objecting to the arrest of the coordinator, Mahabhiyan strongly condemned the move of the government. The campaign has demanded Khan’s unconditional release.
