Durga Prasai, who violated the prohibition order by driving a vehicle and inciting the crowd to become violent, has absconded mysteriously in the Tinkune area of ​​Kathmandu. Even after Friday's violent incident, the police, who said they were under surveillance since the previous day, could not arrest him.

Concluding that Nike Prasai was the main culprit of the violent incident, the cabinet had directed the home administration to arrest him immediately on Friday. An official of the Ministry of Home Affairs said that the police units of the three districts of the valley are searching for places where Prasain could be hiding. Home Minister Ramesh claims that writer Prasai will be arrested soon. When he came to Kantipur Television on Saturday to inspect the damage caused by the Rajawadi group, he said, "The search is on, they will be arrested soon."

A journalist was set on fire and a civilian was shot dead when the Rajawadi demonstration broke out. The group of royalists vandalized, set arson, and looted public and private houses and offices, commercial complexes, and vehicles. Although the former king Gyanendra Shah was the planner of the demonstration, the cabinet concluded that the royalist group became chaotic because of Prasai. Prasai is the commander of the royalist movement. 

Prasai drove his Hilux car from Koteshwar on Friday and proceeded to the prohibited area, meeting the police. After cutting the Shantinagar bridge, he got down from the vehicle and hid inside the shutter of a nearby house. When the royalist mob started indiscriminately arson, looting and vandalism, Prasain escaped from the shutter around 4:30 p.m., taking advantage of the police force being concentrated to control it. The footage of his private security team driving him away in a Scorpio car has gone viral on social media.

Prasain escaped through Narefant and reached the house of religious leader Pushkar Khatiwada between Luvu and Imadol. Lalitpur police arrested Khatiwada from his residence on Saturday. I helped Prasai because he was an old acquaintance. We are both from Jhapa. I am from Barba, he is from Birtamod. I just went to the normal procession. I am not a violent person, I am a religious person," Lalitpur Police Chief SSP Shyam Adhikari said, quoting Khatiwada, "He (Prasain) and I came to my house together in the same vehicle. He stayed at my house for about 15 minutes. Ate an apple and a banana. Then he turned off his mobile and left. Where, where did you go, I don't know.' 

While staying at Khatiwada's residence, Prasain switched off his mobile phone by giving a message that he would be present when the police searched. Home officials say that the police got the news that Prasai was to be arrested late on Friday. On Friday, the police arrested the leaders Dhavalshamsher Rana, Rabindra Mishra, Swagat Nepal and others on the charge of inciting the crowd to become violent, vandalism and arson.

The unofficial information that the Prussian police is under control was given by the top police officials on Friday. "Prasai police are not out of control. The situation was not informed just so that it does not escalate immediately, it will be taken to the police gradually," a senior police officer told Kantipur on Friday. But on Saturday morning, the same officer responded that the investigation is underway. "This raises the question of whether Prasain was driven away on purpose," said an official of the Ministry of Home Affairs, "since we could not find him until Saturday evening, we have assumed that the Upatka has been cut off."

Prasai, from a controversial background, is a person who has been arrested several times for various crimes and escaped. He was arrested on October 6 for the crime related to cyber crime and abusive language. He was released on October 15 after posting bail according to the order of Kathmandu District Court. While the case was pending in the court, Prasai was arrested again on November 4 for organized crime, fraud, defamation, etc. At that time, he was freed from the Supreme Court's order after a month by filing a petition for his detention. 

The republican political party and the civil society have launched a pressure campaign on the Sarka to immediately arrest not only Prasai but also the former king Gyanendra Shah. A campaign has been launched on social media for this. 

The official meeting of the ruling Congress has formally decided to make the former king Gyanendra the main responsible of the incident. The UML leaders who took the leadership of the government responded that the service facilities that the former king was getting should be taken away. Leaders in the opposition Samajwadi Front are also raising their voice from taking away his service facilities to taking action. They are demanding that the former king's passport should be canceled, the security forces should be withdrawn, Nagarjuna Palace should be evacuated. 

Congress leader Krishna Prasad Sitaula said that even though there was such a criminal and violent incident in Tinkune, since Gyanendra Shah did not respond, he should be made responsible for the incident. "If he says that he is not involved, he should be able to answer clearly, but since he did not respond, our party also believes that he is responsible for this," he said, "Let the government investigate and decide on other matters."

UML leader Padam Giri, who is also a former minister, said that the government should immediately return the service facilities and security provided by the state fund. "Taking service facilities and security facilities from the state treasury and inciting protests to kill unarmed citizens, employing mercenaries to vandalize private and public property is very regrettable," he told Kantipur. Should.' 

In this regard, the government is preparing to hold a joint meeting of republican parties on Sunday and take further steps based on its findings.
