Chhatra Khadayat, the personal secretary of Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP) Chairman Rajendra Lingden, has assaulted an RPP leader from Palpa.
On Wednesday evening, Khadayat attacked RPP Palpa leader Raju Gaire with a helmet in Dhumbharahi of Kathmandu.
Following the incident, Gaire filed a complaint against Khadayat at the Maharajgunj Police Circle, an RPP leader said.
Gaire posted details of the assault along with the CCTV footage on Facebook.
Gaire was an RPP candidate for the provincial assembly from Palpa in the last election.
The incident occurred around 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday while Gaire was having tea with friends at a restaurant. Khadayat, who arrived on a motorcycle with a friend, attacked Gaire with a helmet.
The incident took place near the RPP central office in Dhumbarahi.
Gaire had recently posted on Facebook against Chairman Lingden.
Khadayat attacked Gaire with a helmet, questioning why he wrote against Chairman Lingden on social media.
Attempts to contact Khadayat for comment were unsuccessful as his mobile phone was switched off.
