KATHMANDU, Aug 25: Communist Party of Nepal (CPN) has demanded the government to investigate the Kanchanpur murder case fairly and bring to book the culprit. 

The emergency meeting of the CPN secretariat held at Prime Minister's residence Baluwatar today urged the government to meticulously investigate the Kanchanpur incident and the attitude trying to foment social ills. 

The meeting was held in the wake of growing tension over rape and subsequent murder of 13-year-old Nirmala Pant. 

Following the meeting, leader Narayan Kaji Shrestha, said they decided for the initiative to prevent the activities that threaten public security. The meeting urged the government to initiate legal action against those involved in the crime and provide relief to the victim family. 

Investigation needs to be comprehensive, credible and effective. The meeting also appealed to all sides concerned to be united against social ills and threat to security. 

Meanwhile, CPN leader Lekhraj Bhatta issued a press release, demanding an independent high level probe team. Public trust on local administration and security should not be eroded, he added.
