KATHMANDU: Maoist leader Krishna KC has lodged a complaint at the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) on Sunday against the former King Gyanendra Shah and five former Prime Ministers, seeking action against them for involvement in his 'illegal' detention by the Nepal Army (NA) for 810 days during the armed insurgency.

KC submitted the complaint to the TRC Chairman Surya Kiran Gurung, demanding stern action against former King Shah, and Prime Ministers Girija Prasad Koirala, Surya Bahadur Thapa, Lokendra Bahadur Chand, Krishna Prasad Bhattarai and Sher Bahadur Deuba.

A permanent resident of Baglung Municipality-3, KC, in his complaint, has stated that he was arrested by the NA personnel from Manohara Bridge in the Capital on September 13, 2003 and taken to various battalions in Kathmandu, including the Bhairav Nath Battalion, and Mehendra Battalion in Gorkha.

He was kept in detention for 27 months.

KC has also pressed for a fair investigation on the incident and stern action against the culprits.

The victims can register their complaints related to the conflict era at the TRC until June 16.
