BARA, Nov 9: The killers of journalist Birendra Sah have yet to be brought to book three years after he was brutally murdered by Maoist cadres.



Sah was abducted from Umjan Pipra, Bara on October 5, 2007 and his body was found buried at Tagiyabasti in the district over a month later on November 9. [break]



Maoist cadres Lal Bahadur Chaudhary, Kundan Foujdar and Hare Ram Patel were accused of the murder but only Ram Iqbal Sahani has been arrested in connection with the case so far.



Journalists have complained that the administration has turned a blind eye though the accused have been moving freely in the district. The media persons claim that the largest political party in the country has been protecting the culprits instead of taking action against them.



President of Bara chapter of the Federation of Nepalese Journalist (FNJ) Guru Gautam urged everyone to cooperate in arresting and taking legal action against the guilty. “We will not remain silent over the administration´s inaction if the guilty are not brought to book,” Gautam warned issuing a press statement.



Press Chautari, Bara also organized a memorial service to mark the day of Sah´s murder by conducting blood donation program with leaders of political parties and lambasted the administration for failing to take action against the guilty.
