KATHMANDU: Police have fired multiple rounds of teargas shells as members of Tarun Dal tried to breach the restricted zone at the same place where a protest rally was being carried out in support of medical activist Dr Govinda KC.
Tarun Dal members pelted stones at a ministry vehicle parked at Indreni Complex which led to the police firing a few more shells of tear gas to contain the protestors.
According to eyewitnesses, the minister's bodyguard aimed his weapon at the Tarun Dal protestors gathered around the area which escalated tensions, leading to pelting of stones.
Meanwhile, a peaceful rally that converged into a corner meet remained unaffected and proceeded despite the clash between police and Tarun Dal cadres in the nearby vicinity.
