KATHMANDU: Maoists overnight bombed and completely leveled the home of Minister of State for Water Resources Naranyan Sharma Paudel in Chitwan causing damage worth Rs.3 million, he said. “I will not be cowed down by the attacks,” he further said.
Paudel was in Kathmandu when a group of about seven rebels came in a vehicle and warned occupants to get out of the house before blowing it up. The house had been attacked once before. Security forces have launched a search around the area.
