The clash occurred when the closed session of the conference was in progress in Salyan Multiple Campus, Luhaping. The YCL cadres were returning to Shitalpati after gheraoing a government office. Each group has held the other responsible for the incident. After the clash, leaders of the UCPN-Maoist and UML, at the initiation of the local administration, had tried to solve the problem.
