K. Raut; to unveil the conspiracies of national and foreign power-centers to prevent Madheshis from getting their rights, to kill Dr. Raut in fake encounters in the police custody, and to finish him off in a mafia-style by hiring a shooter, Dr. Raut decided to get out of jail by paying the bail amount of Rs.50,000/- as ordered by the Special Court. Dr. Raut is scheduled to address a mass-meeting on November 26th, 2014 at 12:00 PM in Ratna Park, Kathmandu.
