Morchna Recent activities Regarding Sapari incident

At least four protesters have been killed and four others injured in Nepal after security forces opened fire at a political rally, according to police.

Thousands of officers were deployed on Monday to the southeastern town of Rajbiraj, where the Unified Marxist and Leninist party had organised a get-out-the-vote rally before local elections set for May 14.

Members of the Madhesi ethnic community, who oppose the upcoming polls, held a counter-protest. The police opened fire at the protesters when they began hurling stones at the leftists.

An 18-year-old man died at a local hospital, while three others died at another hospital in Dharan, a town about 80km east, said Sarbendra Khanal, a spokesman for Nepal Police.

"The area is still tense. Protesters have set at least four vehicles on fire and have obstructed the highway," Khanal said, adding that about 40 security forces were injured in the clashes.

Khanal said that the leaders of the party that organised Monday's rally were escorted back to their homes in the east of the country.
