Cases of child abduction and related violence have been increasing in some Terai districts in the recent days.
Two unidentified people have lost their lives and two others have been injured on Thursday when villagers in Mahottari and Dhanusha beat them up accusing them of trying to abduct children from their village.
The incidents occurred in Khuttapiparadi and Gaushala VDCs of Mahottari district and Thadi Jhijha of Dhanusha district.
Neither the deceased nor the injured have been identified. The villagers have claimed the suspected abductors are Indian citizens.
The injured are being treated at a hospital in Gaushala under police surveillance.
Similar incidents had occurred in the districts last week too. nepalnews.com Apr 23 09
