The district administration took the move putting aside a massive pressure from the political parties citing that the case filing will create trouble in maintaining social harmony. [break]
According to Superintendant of Police (SP) in Siraha Purna Chandra Joshi, a public offense case has been filed against Mohhamud Rahim Safi of Saraswor-7, Mohammud Jasim Safi of ward 8 and Mohammud Mastakim Rain.
Police arrested and subsequently filed the case against them for harassing girls on the way to Saraswornath temple to offer milk.
Likewise, another case was filed against 24 youths for their alleged involvement in robbery and arson in Saraswor while a case of small arms was registered against a person arrested with a pistol, said Joshi.
An all-party meeting on Sunday had forged a consensus to have the local administration addressed their five-point demand including unconditional release of the arrestees.
To the dismay of the political parties, the administration has filed various cases against the arrested ones. The political parties have protested the move of the administration in this connection.
