Attempted murder accused Rai is in police custody
KATHMANDU: UCPN-Maoist Vice Chairman Dr. Baburam Bhattarai has reportedly received death threat from the trade union leaders affiliated to his own party.
It has been learnt that a group of trade unionists met him and threatened him over the arrest of Kalpadeep Rai, an All Nepal Trade Union Federation (ANTUF) leader at Casino Anna. He is accused of murder attempt of Gyan Man Dangol, who is a leader of a rival faction supporting Dr. Bhattarai.
Dr. Bhattarai has informed Deputy Prime Minister and Home Minister Krishna Bahadur Mahara, who leads the Maoist squad in the government, about the threats and demanded security.
A group led by Rai, who leads the ANTUF faction close to the Maoist chairman at the Casino Anna, had severely beaten up Dangol, and inflicted injuries on him in the Capital on May 9. On May 14, police apprehended Rai from his residence in Lamatar, Lalitpur.
There are three factions of ANTUF from the centre to lower levels, and they are indulged in nasty fights between and betwixt themselves.
