Kathmandu, 1 February: Chief District Officer of Banke Shyam Prasad Mainali has been recalled to the Home Ministry this week after a parliamentary committee probe said the police firing inside a prison in Nepalgunj that killed two inmates last month was unnecessary and recommended departmental action against him.

The Foreign and Human Rights Committee said one inmate was shot dead after surrendering to authorities inside the jail. The prisoners were demanding better prison conditions. The government has formed a separate administrative probe, which is yet to report its findings.
