Door open for murder probe against Maoist leaders Sapkota, Dong

Supreme Court directs police to investigate six people, ruling that the decision to shelve the case was flawed.

The Supreme Court has overturned the then government’s decision to keep a murder-after-abduction case against CPN (Maoist Centre) vice-chair Agni Sapkota and party’s lawmaker Surya Man Dong in abeyance, thereby opening the door for investigation.
