Maoists have killed a district committee member of the CPN UML in Dhading district, reports Sunday said.

Khim Bahadur Thapa who was abducted by the rebels from his house at Salang VDC on Friday night was found dead at Chatpani area of the same VDC today. Two others, one an UML cadre and another a Nepali Congress supporter, were freed, however.

Reports said that local Maoists have insisted that Thapa was involved in the killing of Maoist cadres in the recent past. The UML, in a statement today, denounced the murder and warned that the rebels would have to pay a heavy price of the killing of a committed to communist activist. nepalnews.com mbk Dec 12 04
