Ramila Shrestha's tearful eyes

Maoist leader Kali Bahadur Kham, who was arrested only on Tuesday in the murder case that happened 15 years ago inside Golghar, was there. Ramila Shrestha from Kathmandu Koteshwar was in front of the bar building. Kham, who was accused of murdering Ramila's husband Ramhari Shrestha, was caught in Kathmandu on Tuesday without being arrested. The police brought Chitwan in the night and made him appear in the court on Wednesday.

Ramila was also formally informed by the Chitwan police about the arrest of Kham in Kathmandu on Wednesday morning. She came to Bharatpur with her relative Narayan Kumar Shrestha after the police requested that Kham be taken to court today and come as an informant. Due to the ongoing court proceedings, Kham was waiting for the order inside Golghar . Relatives kept calling Ramila who was sitting outside. While talking on the phone, his eyes used to tear . It has been a wound for 15 years. It keeps repeating again and again," said Ramila.

After 10 years of armed conflict and a peace agreement, the Maoist fighters started living in a temporary camp after 063 November 5. After the first election of the Constituent Assembly, Maoist, which emerged as the first party in the beginning of 2015, was right to go to power. At this time, Ramila's life had a big thunderstorm.

Kali Bahadur Kham was the commander of the third division headquarters of the Maoist fighters in Chitwan Shaktikhor. Kham and other leaders rented Shrestha's house on Koteshwar Saraswati Matamarg, Kathmandu as the liaison office of the third division. They had rented a house to keep 'mainpower company'. Shrestha family lived on the upper floor by renting out the lower floor. They had a restaurant business in Anamnagar. They used to ask for food in the camp saying that 'guests have arrived'. While taking food like that, Maoist leaders started to appear . And they got the trick, not to keep the manpower company that rented the room . Even so, they did not object.

064 On Chaitra 14, after the weapon and 17 lakh rupees in cash went missing, the house owner was also investigated . "Another commander called Batla picked him up at night to bring him for questioning," said Ramila. After abducting her husband overnight, she went to meet Maoist Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal . Dahal, who is on the verge of assuming power, said, 'Nothing has happened, don't panic, Kham will call and take charge.'

But Kham never called to take charge. After 15 years, she saw Kham as an accused from a distance in the Chitwan District Court complex. Finally, the weapons and money that were said to be lost have been found in the same house. But for this reason, they beat up my husband," said Ramila suddenly. She says that even after killing a person, she is always hurting because of the fact that she has been hesitating to give justice.

After warning that they would protest to make the situation public after the incident, the Maoist told the family that Shrestha was killed inside the Shaktikhor camp . The body was handed over only after the family protested.

Another battalion commander of Shaktikhor camp, Govind Bahadur Batla, said that Shrestha's body was thrown into the Trishuli after the fighters Keshav Adhikari and Ganga Bahadur Thapa, who were with him, died while taking him to Kathmandu for treatment. But contrary to Batla's statement, the fact that Shrestha died during treatment at the teaching hospital of the old medical college in Bharatpur was made public.

Shrestha's body, which was said to have died and thrown in Trishuli on 27th Baisakh, was found in Jugedi Trishuli a little below the place where it was said to have been thrown on 12th June. They made many excuses to hand over the body. He kept adding pain to pain in order to give justice,' said Ramila .

The accused refused to be arrested. Out of the three fugitives, one has been caught after 15 years. Two more people are absconding. She struggled a lot for seven/eight years after the incident. The police once informed that Kham, who was said to be a fugitive, was caught in Buddh. But if not the next day. It has been seven or eight years. I didn't give up. But it's always difficult to stick to this. The responsibility of taking care of the family was also on his own shoulders, said Ramila. His son was 12 years old and his daughter was seven years old when the

happened. Children's education and writing also made him busy . On the one hand, when Kham was arrested, there was hope that justice would be served even though it was delayed. On the other hand, the old wound has resurfaced. "Batla was punished less than demanded". This matter is currently pending in the Supreme Court.

What kind of punishment will be given to Kham who was arrested? There would have been a sense of justice if the punishment was given as requested,' she says. While he was saying this, an order came from the court to bring Kham along with Sakkali Missile. Kham, who was sitting inside the goal house, came out wearing masks. Sitting on the front seat of the police car, Kham returned to the police custody cell.

Order to produce Kham along with Sakal missile

On Wednesday, Kali Bahadur Kham, the then commander of the 3rd Division of Shaktikhor, who was brought to the Chitwan district court, has been ordered to appear with Sakal missile. On Wednesday, Judge Dayaram Dhakal ordered to appear after receiving Sakal missile. Srestedar Bishnu Prasad Acharya of Chitwan District Court said.

District Police Chief SP Bhavesh Rimal informed that the envelope that was brought to Chitwan from Kathmandu at night was brought to the court after 10 am on Wednesday.

The file of the case related to the murder of Ramhari Shrestha has reached the Supreme Court from the Chitwan District Court. Srestedar Acharya said that after the envelopes related to the same case appeared in the court, they requested to send the missile to the Supreme Court and it is possible that the complete missile will arrive by tomorrow Thursday. "After Missil comes and the statement of the accused is finished, there will be a debate for the detention order," said Shrestedar Acharya. After hearing the argument, the accused will be sent to jail until the case is decided or released on bail. Kham has returned to the custody of the Chitwan police after receiving an order to present him with the missile.

Ramhari Shrestha was brought Shaktikhor from Kateshwar on the night of 15 Baisakh 2065. In Shrestha's house was the liaison office of the third division of the Maoist army . Ramhari Shrestha was brought by Shaktikhor to investigate the disappearance of more than 15 lakh rupees in cash and weapons from that house.

Shrestha died on Baisakh 27 inside the camp. According to the postmortem report, his death was due to beating. Ramila Shrestha's wife Ramila Shrestha filed a case against the camp's then brigade commander Gobind Bahadur Batla along with the then commander of the third division Kali Bahadur Kham and the fighters Keshav Adhikari and Ganga Bahadur Thapa after he died due to beatings inside the militant camp. But even though Batla came to the police, no one else was arrested.

Batla, Adhikari and Thapa were sentenced to life imprisonment. Similarly, as the incident took place on the order of the then commander of the third division, Kham, a case was filed demanding a prison sentence of 10 to 15 years. Chitwan District Court decided to imprison Batla for only three years on June 17, 2017, saying that the evidence was not enough even after demanding the maximum punishment. The government of Nepal filed a petition in the then appeal and Supreme Court against the case saying that the punishment given to Batla was reduced.

Appeal and the Supreme Court also upheld the decision of the district. But after the government of Nepal applied to review the decision of the Supreme Court, approval was received for the review on October 15, 2017. Therefore, the entire file of the case is in the Supreme Court. On behalf of Jaherwal, the wife of Ramhari Shrestha Ramila has also arrived in Chitwan on Wednesday. She responded that the accused was arrested after 15 years, and hoped to get justice.
