On Sunday, a team from the KMC police went to Nirmal Niwas - the ex-king’s private residence - to hand-deliver the letter. However, they were turned back at the gate by the security personnel and staff there.
Subsequently, the KMC authorities sent the fine notice to Nirmal Niwas via postal mail. During the pro-monarchy protest on Friday, there was vandalism and arson in areas like Tinkune and Koteshwor.
