The incident happened when police intervened after flood victims tried to picket a government office supplying relief to them. They were protesting the delay in distribution of relief materials, a participant in the protest said.
Police fired three rounds of tear gas shells to contain the crowd. Those seriously injured are Ravi Kathayer and Shantiram Chaudhary of Daulatpur-9. Both of them are receiving medical treatment at a local hospital. A recent flooding in the far western region caused a massive loss of properties in Bardiya, including in Daulatpur VDC.
