It has been revealed that the police hid the data regarding the use of bullets and furniture materials in the violent demonstrations of royalists in Tinkune of Kathmandu. About the incident, Police Spokesperson, Deputy Inspector General of Police Dinesh Kumar Acharya held a press conference last Wednesday and released the facts and figures.

But the report prepared internally by the police contains different facts than the one given by the spokesperson Acharya in the press conference. It has been revealed that the police deliberately hid information about the use of ammunition and furniture materials.

Even though the internal report includes certain details, it has been found that the police conveyed the information to the media in order to protect the image of the police. Regarding the incident, District Police Station Kathmandu has prepared a report and the report has revealed new facts.

It is mentioned in the report that the police used SLRs and INSAS rifles to attack the demonstrators with lethal force in order to control the demonstrations that erupted from dispersing the crowd. But previously the spokesperson Acharya had not disclosed the issue of using SLR and Insaas rifle. 

An SLR is a semi-automatic rifle. In which 300  It can be fired from a distance of meters. INSAS is a modern semi-automatic rifle smaller in size than SLR. Both these weapons are weapons used in war.

The police fired 81 live rounds and 165 blank rounds through SLR and Insas rifles in the protest at Tinkune. While the spokesperson Acharya had not revealed any facts about this before.  

Similarly, the police said that 746 gas cells were fired at the protestors. But in the internal report, it is mentioned that 868 gas cells were fired. The report of the premises showed that cartridges 3 and rubber pellets 201 were fired through short guns. 

It is mentioned in the report that the police used 59 batons, 49 shields/shields, 49 helmet shields, 1 megaphone, 1 handset and 5 full gear for crowd control.

The police even used expired tear gas to disperse the crowd that had gathered on the street to control the protest. Using expired equipment is considered 'inhumane' from the point of view of human rights. Using such expired equipment weakens security and has a serious impact on health.

Demands are being raised from the parliament and the streets to investigate the truth about the use of deadly force on that day. Civilians are more likely to be shot than protesters. But the police officials claim that they have nothing to hide in this matter.

'That house has been burnt, there has been looting, let's look at the damage,' spokesman Acharya said,' All the bullets and gas were fired at people No, they were used for crowd control.' According to Acharya, out of 20 people who were shot, only 8 people were hit by bullets. The remaining 13 people only got rubber . "The police have worked very restrainedly to control the crowd, which did not cause much damage," claims Acharya.

According to the report, 7 police vehicles, 10 vehicles of other government offices, 1 company vehicle, 18 private  vehicles and 27 four-wheelers and 6 two-wheelers including 27 four-wheelers and 6 two-wheelers without number have been damaged.
