An unidentified gang has attacked UML leader Gokarna Bista at his residence in Samakhusi last night.
Two motorcycle-borne assailants attacked Bista with Khukuri in his house premises at around 8.30 pm, Monday, police said.
Bista was appointed as energy minister by Prime Minister Jhala Nath Khanal on Monday. He is yet to take oath and assume office.
The assailants fled after the attack. They could not be identified as the area was dark due to load shedding.
Bista is undergoing treatment at Man Mohan Memorial Hospital, Thamel. He has sustained injuries on his head and arms.
The motive behind the attack and the identity of the attackers could not be ascertained immediately. nepalnews.com
