An unidentified group seized and tore sample ballot papers in Baglung on Saturday, while they were being taken to Nishikhola Rural Municipality-3 for educating the voters. As informed by Nirmaya Shahi, returning officer of Nishikhola- 3, a group of unknown people circled the election officers nearby a forest in Nishikhola-3 and captured the sample ballot papers and election related posters. "They told us that they were the cadres of the Netra Bikram Chand-led CPN-Maoist and tore the election materials," she said, adding, "They even threatened to take action against us if we are found giving election related information to the voters." According to her, those people were also trying to burn their personal belongings as well but could not do so as they didn't find anything to burn. A police team from Jhiwakhola immediately reached the incident site for investigation. "We have already sent some officers to the incident site for investigation but it is yet to be confirmed whether it was done by Chand's cadres," said DSP Bishwaraj Singh Thapa, Spokesperson for the District Police Office, Baglung. मतदाता शिक्षा कार्यक्रमका लागि निसीखोलामा लगिएको सामाग्री शनिबार केही युुवाले लुटेका छन् । निसीखोला गाउँपालिका ३ का लागि गएकी मतदाता शिक्षा कार्यकर्ता राधिका शर्माको साथमा भएका केही सामाग्री च्यातेर फालेको र बाँकी लुटेर लगेका हुन् । ‘तपाईको कार्यक्रम अवरुद्ध गर्न आएका हौं, सबै सामाग्री दिनुहोस भनेर बाटो छेकेर सबै सामाग्री लगे’ शर्माले टेलिफोनमा भनिन्, ‘एक्लै सामाग्री टाँस्ने, मतदातालाई सिकाउने गर्दै हिडेकोले प्रतिकार गर्न सम्भव पनि थिएन ।’ उनीहरुले अबदेखि यस्तो काम नगर्नु भनेर धम्की समेत दिएको शर्माले बताइन् । सामाग्री लुट्ने मध्येका दुइ युवाको प्रहरीले पहिचान गरेको छ । निसीखोला ३ कै लालबहादुर बुढा र सुन्दर बुढा भएको पत्ता लागेपछि प्रहरीले पक्राउका लागि खोजी गरिरहेको छ । उनीहरु निर्वाचन विरोधी गतिविधिमा संलग्न भएकोले कारबाही प्रकृया बढाउने प्रहरी उपरीक्षक चन्द्रकुवेर खापुङले बताए । राजनीतिक रुपमा उनीहरु कुन समूहका हुन् भन्ने खुलेको छैन ।
