Minister for Internal Affairs and Law of Province-7 Government, Prakash Bahadur Shah, said that the prime accused of Tikapur carnage, Resham Lal Chaudhary, who is on a hunger strike could be transferred to another prison.
On a query of journalists at a public commitment disclosure programme organized at the Ministry today, Minister Shah, also the Spokesperson of Provincial government, said Chaudhary could be transferred to other prison if he performed the activities in a way to challenge laws, jeopardize social harmony and create unrest.
Chaudhary won the federal parliamentary election from Kailali Constituency-1 as a candidate of the Rastriya Janata Party. He presented himself before the court some days ago after around 30 months of the occurrence of Tikapur carnage. Chaudhary along with other 24 accused in the Tikapur murder who have been languished in Kailali prison as per the court ruling have started hunger strike in jail since last Sunday.
On the occasion, Minister Shah made public his 18-point commitments including improvement of the physical infrastructure, enforcement of modern IT automated working system, arrangement of information disclosure through website, mechanizing direct contact between people and home minister for complaint redress, promoting pro-public administration and initiating a campaign ‘Improved law and order: base of province prosperity’.
