Nirmala Panta’s murder will be thoroughly investigated: Home Minister



MAHENDRANAGAR: Home Minister Ramesh Lekhak has said that the investigation into Nirmala Panta’s murder will be conducted thoroughly.

Speaking at a press conference in Mahendranagar today, he emphasized that the case is being treated with utmost seriousness.

“I have taken this case very seriously. This incident will be investigated in depth,” he said.

Nirmala Pant, a 13-year-old girl from Bhimdatta Municipality-2 in Kanchanpur, was murdered on July 26, 2018, after being raped.

The Home Minister also announced plans to develop Dodhara Chandani into the country’s largest checkpoint.

“Efforts to make Kanchanpur a tri-national border have progressed. An immigration office will soon be established at Tinkar in Darchula, linking it with China.”

He also mentioned that India is prepared to build the Dodhara Chanadni dry port and will invite tenders for its construction within the next two months.

During his three-day visit to his home district, the minister inaugurated two new police buildings in Kanchanpur and inspected the flood-affected areas.
