KATHMANDU: The CPN-UML has expressed serious grief over the abduction and thrashing of the party’s Kathmandu-8 ward committee member Dilkaji Sangat by YCL cadres that left him seriously injured.

A group of around 25 youths, who came in motorcycles from near his house at Jaya Baeswori, in the morning of March 4 took Sangat to the office of the YCL at new bus park and thrashed him.

His ribs were broken and he had bruises all over his body. The youths also robbed Rs 25,000 and a mobile phone set worth Rs 14,000 from sangat. Deploring such “atrocious incident,” the UML has demanded the government take action against them.
