Agitating locals have enforced shutdown in Bhimdutta Bazar Tuesday, protesting police failure to reveal facts behind the murder of 13-year-old Nirmala Pant.
Organizing a press conference on Monday, the District Police Office had made public Dilip Singh Bista, 41, of Bhimdutta municipality-19, Bagaphant as a murderer of Pant.
However, locals are not convinced as Bista was a person with mental retardation and police was not being able to make public the true murderer (s).
Civil society organizations and human rights defenders have been mounting pressure on the police to reveal the facts behind the heinous crime.
Pant's body was found in a sugarcane farm on July 27.
