Police have recovered the charred body of Sanam Shakya from the boot of a vehicle during security check in Lahan in Siraha district in the Sagarmatha Zone of south-eastern Nepal. Shakya was missing from Biratnagar Metropolitan City-3 since four days. A team of Crime Investigation Department of Nepal Police recovered the body from a Mahindra Scorpio vehicle bearing registration number Ba 12 Cha 5963. The security team followed the vehicle from Lahan in Siraha district. They intercepted the Scorpio and found the victim’s body in vehicle’s dickey during security check. The security officers also recovered two batteries and wires from the vehicle. Police arrested driver Rekraj Ranamagar and passengers Narendra Karki of Urlabari and Tekraj Mall Thakuri of Kavre. Police suspect the resident of Urlabari, Morang was tortured by electric current which caused his death. Deputy Superintendent of Police Prajit KC said, “We have been tracing the Scorpio for past four days. We found it in Lahan at around 3am and followed.” He suspects Shakya might have been the porter of a Kathmandu-based gold smuggler. Shakya might have been killed during torture as he hid 34kg gold, Prajiot said. He refused to name the gold smuggler stating that it could affect the investigation of the incident. The central police team later handed over the body and the arrested trio to the district police office in Morang. “We will know details about the incident after postmortem report and interrogation of the detainees,” said Superintendent of Police Arun Kumar BC. मोरङका एक युवकको अपहरणपछि हत्या भएको छ । हत्यामा संलग्न तीन जनालाई प्रहरीले पक्राउ परेको छ । मोरङ, उर्लावारी ७ का ३३ वषर्ीय सनम शाक्य मंगलबार अपहरणमा परेका थिए । उनलाई बन्धक बनाएर राखेको सूचनाका आधारमा अपराध महाशाखा र स्थानीय प्रहरीको टोलीले विराटनगर ३ पोखरिया कन्या मार्गमा चेकजाँच गरेको थियो । त्यसक्रममा बा १२ च ५९६३ नम्बरको स्करपियो गाडीमा शाक्यको शव भेटिएको छ । डिकीमा तौलिया, म्याट्रेस र त्रिपालले बेरेर राखेको अवस्थामा शव भेटिएको छ । मृतकको शरीरमा निलडाम भेटिएको छ । सुन तस्करीको विषयमा लेनदेन नमिलेका कारण सनमलाई सिराहाबाटबाट अपहरण गरी कुटपिट गरेर हत्या गरेको खुल्न आएको अपराध महाशाखाले जनाएको छ । हत्यामा संलग्न भएको आरोपमा प्रहरीले टेकराज मल्ल, कृष्ण भन्ने नरेन्द्र कार्की र मोहन काफ्लेलाई पक्राउ परेको छ । यसबारे अनुसन्धान भइरहेको प्रहरीले जनाएको छ ।
