KATHMANDU: Resham Chaudhary, the “mastermind” behind the 2015 Tikapur massacre, was released from jail today.
As per the recommendation of Pushpa Kamal Dahal-led government, President Ram Chandra Poudel pardoned the rest of his sentence on Sunday and he was released today.
On the occasion of Republic Day, he was released from Dillibazar jail for six years after the President granted amnesty.
Soon after his release, Chaudhary demanded a fair and just investigation into the Tikapur incident.
“I am happy to be released after receiving an amnesty from the President. The Tikapur incident should be re-investigated,” he said.
