We said, ``Bring some white/red parts, we will send them if you want to send Amin.'' He doesn't have any proof,' Subedi said to Ikantipur, 'That is absolutely public land.' When they started building it overnight, they went to stop it through the city police.

He called to the corner to come like this. I went to request something. He came with a rod. When he was watching me, I stopped him by holding him with my hand . There was another friend next to him . He also stopped," he said, "he didn't get hurt. If it had hit the head, anything could have happened.
