Maoists have been continuing their atrocities despite the ceasefire called by them.
According to reports, Maoists on Friday night abducted Gopal Bhujel of Kulasi-3, after beating him severely. His wife, along with her 84-year-old father, who had objected to the beating and tried to avert the abduction, were also mercilessly thrashed by the rebels.
The Kathmandu Post daily quoted locals as saying that Bhujel was severely tortured at the house of local Kuber Chauhan, where he was kept shortly after the abduction, and then taken away to an undisclosed location.
On Saturday, the Maoists had abducted Guman Thapa Magar, vice-chairman of Sheradevi Community Forest Users’ Group from the village.
In another report from Siraha, the rebels on Friday abducted Balram Yadav, the district commander of the Terai Liberation Army, an organization close to Terai Jantantrik Mukti Morcha.
