Meanwhile, after the Banke chapter of the Federation of Nepali Journalists condemned the incident, Chief District Officer Bed Prakash Lekhak and acting police chief in the district Sushil Singh Rathaur assured that such incidents will not be repeated. The Regional police Office said it has formed a team to investigate the matter.
