KATHMANDU: After it came to light that Tikapur-carnage convict, Member of Parliament (MP) Resham Chaudhary, was chained to a hospital bed while receiving treatment, Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli showed concern and directed that the chain be immediately removed.

Chaudhary, who has been receiving treatment at Bir Hospital, was chained to the hospital bed for "security reasons". Prime Minister Oli, after coming to know of this, called Chief Secretary Lok Darshan Regmi instructing him to get the chain removed and to take action against those involved in the act, stated Prime Minister's press coordinator Chetan Adhikari.

It has been learnt that PM Oli became aware of the situation when Chaudhary's photo in such circumstance became public.

Chaudhary, who is imprisoned in Dillibazaar prison for his involvement in the Tikapur incident, has been receiving treatment in Bir Hospital since Wednesday.
