Four idols belonging to the Bhandari family living in the Pashupati area were stolen from their house Saturday night drawing the Pashupati Area Development Trust into a controversy.
After the Pashupati Area Development Trust started the demolition of houses in the area in order to implement its Master Plan, the house of the Bhandaris containing the four idols stolen Saturday was among the few houses that were spared.
The Bhandari family was forced to leave the house but had to leave the idols behind. To their dismay they found the idols missing when they went to their old house for worship.
The local people have been alleging that the Trust could have taken the idols away in order to take ahead the demolition drive. nepalnews.com am July 29
