Request Filed by Rajpur Bomb Blast Victims for Investigation by Judges

#News #Update #LegalMatters

In a recent development in Yamunamai Gaunpalika-4, Rautahat, 84-year-old Shreenarayan Singh has traveled to Kathmandu in search of justice. This move comes after four individuals, including Nepali Congress leader and former parliamentarian Mohammad Aftab Alam, were acquitted by the temporary bench of Janakpur High Court in Virgunj following a clean chit from the District Court in Rajpur Bamkanda.

Expressing dissatisfaction with the decision, Singh has filed a plea in the Supreme Court demanding scrutiny of the judges involved in the case. The plea alleges that the judges unfairly acquitted the defendants and calls for an investigation into their actions in accordance with legal provisions and the constitution.

Trilokpratap Singh, a 22-year-old student studying in Sitamadhi, India, is said to have been killed in Rajpur Bamkanda, with his father Shreenarayan actively seeking justice for his son. The incident dates back to the time of the first Constituent Assembly elections in 2064, where individuals accused of involvement in a bomb blast were allegedly burned alive in a brick kiln. Mohammad Aftab Alam, among others, faced imprisonment following a verdict by the district court in Gaur on Baishakh 14, 2081.

Following the decision of the temporary bench in Virgunj, which overturned the ruling of the district court in Rautahat, Mohammad Aftab Alam, along with his brother Mohammad Mahatad Alam, Sheikh Saraj, and Badri Sahni, have been acquitted. Mohammad Aftab Alam, who served five years, eight months, and eight days in prison, has now been released and is currently busy with family reunions.

According to Ramesh Khatri, a representative of Kansai Nepal News, “The pursuit of justice in this case reflects the ongoing challenges within the legal system, emphasizing the need for accountability and transparency in judicial proceedings.”
