KATHMANDU: Home Minister Ramesh Lekhak has assured strict action against those responsible for the violent attacks on journalists and media houses during the March 28 demonstration at Tinkune, Kathmandu.

He emphasized that a fair investigation would identify the perpetrators behind these assaults.

Minister Lekhak reiterated the government’s commitment to ensuring justice. The FNJ delegation submitted a memorandum urging a thorough probe into the incidents.

Describing the demonstration as anarchic and ideologically void, Lekhak stated that the violent mob deliberately targeted journalists and media outlets.

“The attackers crossed all limits, making journalists and media houses victims of their actions. The government takes this matter seriously,” he affirmed.

He also informed the delegation about relief assistance for the family of journalist Suresh Rajak, who lost his life, as well as support for another injured journalist.
