RAUTAHAT: Four members of a family, including a pregnant woman, were badly injured when they were assaulted by a group of men at Malheniyatole of Rajpur Tulsi VDC in Rautahat yesterday night at 10:00 pm.
Goons led by a local identified as Sekh Abdullah barged into Mohammad Jamir Akhthar’s house and attacked the whole family because they were ‘angered that Akhthar had called the police to arrest a fugitive at night.’
Akhthar, his mother Najbul, six-month pregnant Nuru Nesha and Jakiya Khatun were hurt in the attack.
All the injured are being treated at District Hospital Rautahat.
“A critically injured Nesha has been referred to Narayani Sub-regional Hospital in Birgunj for further treatment,” Dr Suvash Chaudhary said.
Meanwhile, Sekh Abdullah, Sekh Bauidula and Sekh Aliulla have been arrested for their alleged involvement in the incident.
DSP Bhim Dhakal said that Akhthar’s family had been attacked as he had informed police about fugitive Jamil Akhthar.
“Three suspects have been arrested and investigation is on,” DSP Dhakal added.
