CHITWAN: A clash broke out in Chitwan between Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) cadres and the police as RSP Chairman Rabi Lamichhane was being escorted for questioning in the Sahara Chitwan Cooperative embezzlement case.
According to SP Gautam KC of the District Police Office, Chitwan, the police were forced to take action after RSP cadres pelted stones at the police office.
Some officers were injured in the attack, and the glass of a kitchen window at the police station was broken.
In response, the police deployed water cannons and tear gas to disperse the protesters.
