I think attack against civilian judges of supreme court is inhuman
and dastardly.Maoists should explain their act and if they did it,
they should repent accordingly.
Five people, including a Registrar of the Surkhet Appellate Court, Bal Dev Dhittal died in
a lethal attack, reportedly by Maoist rebels, while the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Keshav Prasad
Upadhayay and others narrowly escaped the fatal bid on their lives.
The attack took place late Saturday afternoon, some 20 Kilometres east of Birendranagar when Chief Justice
and his team were heading towards Surkhet to inspect the Surkhet Appellate Court.
The others killed in this first-ever-deadly attack against the judges include police constable and
Upadhayay?s bodyguard Ram Bahadur Basnet, and police personnel Birendra Khadaka, Kaushal Budha and
Khagendra Magar. Two security personnel are reported missing.
Judges of the Appellate Court, Surkhet, Purushottam Parajuli and Chandra Bahadur Karki and the security
personals Ganesh Tharu, Bhola B.K and a driver Tek Nath Poudel, who were seriously injured in the incident,
have been rushed to Nepalgunj Hospital for treatment. Parajuli, who was shot in his neck, is said to be out
of danger. Deputy Superintendents of Police Tirang Rai and Ghana Shyam Bhatta are said to have sustained
minor injuries

The Maoists are on the wrong track altogether.
But never underestimate the compelling logic
of their central message to everyone in a Nepali
village: "What has 11 years of democracy given
you?"
Answer: "Nothing."
The Maoists, using misleading logic, twisted
examples from history and even demonstrations of
murderous firepower, are practically winning
converts by 1000s just about everywhere,
especially in far Western Nepal.
My biggest worry is: What if the 1000s of freed
kamaiyas become Maoists? There is some possibility
of that happening, if the ex-Kamaiyas get restless
with the Kathmandu Sarkar's insensitive
sluggishness.
Good that the Chief Justice escaped alive.
