Lumbini, Dang, Tulsipur, Ward 7

The supporters of the Nepal Communist Party led by Netra Bikram Chand Biplab who have been against the whole election process vandalized three vehicles of the candidates in Dang. The Tulsipur area police informed that the supporters of the CPN-Biplab vandalized the three vehicles which were used by the candidates of the various political parties for election campaign in Tulsipur. However, according to DSP Loknath Timsina, there is no certainty regarding the person responsible for this act. The vehicle with number Lu 1 Ja 1263 which was used by the CPN-M Centre on election campaign was vandalised at around 11p.m in the Tulsipur Bus Park. As informed by the police, in a similar manner the vehicles with number Ra 1 Ja 505 and Bhe 1 Ja 578 used by the Rashtriya Jan Morcha and the Janmukti Party, respectively were vandalised in Sub-Metropolitan city of Tulsipur at Parseni, ward no.7 at midnight. According to the police, the vehicles which were used throughout the day for campaign and then taken by the respective drivers at night were vandalized. At the same time, the police have requested for the vehicles used for election campaigns to be kept under the surveillance of the police at night. Similarly, the police requested the party flags and banners to be taken out of the vehicles at night. The chief of the area police, Timsina doubts the CPN-Biplab that has boycotted the election to be responsible for the vandalism.
