BIRATNAGAR: Last rites of the Unified CPN-Maoist cadre Amar Dhimal of Rajghat, Morang, who died on Friday while undergoing treatment in India’s Silguri-based Paramount Hospital were carried out today.

Amar was injured during a clash with a group led by the Nepali Congress Morang Constituency Number 9 president Khadga Phago on May 20.

According to Maoist sources, Amar’s body was brought yesterday night and was handed over to his family members.

Amar and Arun were members of the same committee.
