KATHMANDU: A 62-year-old woman reportedly died in a police firing in Rangeli of Morang on Thursday.
SP
Tarini Prasad Lamsal, Morang District Police Office chief, told THT
Online over phone from the incident site that the woman, who is yet to
be identified, had sustained a bullet injury from a police firing.
The woman was sent to a Biratnagar-based hospital for treatment, police said.
According
to the police official, police were forced to open fire as the cadres
of protesting United Democratic Madhesi Front (UDMF) attacked police
with domestic weapons including bows and arrows.
The UDMF cadres had resorted to protests in order to foil a programme organised by CPN-UML-affiliated Youth Association Nepal.
