Protesters were killed in a clash between cadres within the United Democratic Madhesi Front (UDMF) and security personnel, at Maleth VDC of Saptari district on Wednesday. UDMF said they were killed when police fired at the protesters. Those killed are Sanjan Mehta, Pitambar Lal Mandal, Ananda Sah and Digambar Yadav*, said the UDMF in a statement issued after a meeting it held in Kathmandu Monday evening. The clash occurred when the protesters tried to obstruct a mass meeting organized by the main opposition CPN-UML at Maleth, Saptari district. Police Spokesperson Sarbendra Khanal confirmed the death of three protesters. “Three deaths have been confirmed.
There is yet another report of one more death. We are yet to confirm the fourth death,” said Khanal. Local witnesses assume that the death toll may increase as some of the protesters are said become critically injured. Mehta, who had previously been shot in the head, died on the spot while Sah breathed his last during treatment in the BP Koirala Institute of Health Sciences. Mandal, who had received a bullet injury to the stomach, died in the span of being rushed to healthcare facility. Dinesh Kumar Yadav, coordinator of Unified Democratic Madhesi Front in Saptari, informed that at least a dozen protesters were injured in firing while an additional 25 were injured in baton charge by the police. Of them, 14 injured were taken to BPKIHS. Six to eight security personnel are also said to have been injured in the battle. Madhesi leaders were protesting against the UML gathering soon after the leaders of the main opposition party on Saturday launched a nationwide election campaign starting from Kakadvitta, Jhapa.
