SUNSARI: Home Minister Ram Bahadur Thapa on Sunday said the rape and murder case of Nirmala Panta was politicised. Speaking at a workshop organised in Itahari, Sunsari, he argued politicisation had given the incident a new twist. “However, the government is serious about providing justice to the victim and her family,” Thapa said, pledging to book the guilty at any cost. “Probe is on. The high level probe committee has submitted its report. We will arrest the guilty very soon,” he assured. He said some forces had tried to defame the government by relating the incident with the overall security situation in the country.
