While there is a discussion about who are the people walking around wearing T-shirts with 'TOB' written on them during the Jen-G demonstration, the police have also started an investigation. After the video of a 'pistol' on the bridge of the electricity market came out, the police showed interest in it.
Speaking to Kantipur, Kathmandu Police Chief SSP Ramesh Thapa said that an investigation is underway. He confirmed that the police are investigating the matters that have come out, but did not reveal the details.
However, according to police sources, after the video showing the weapon started going viral, the person himself contacted the police. Tenzen Dawa, who initially reached the Valley Crime Investigation Office, said that he was the person seen in the video. "He has been there with something that looks like a pistol. Since we are investigating, the police there sent it to us," said an officer of the Kathmandu police. According to
sources, Dawa said that the pistol was not genuine. "He says no, but by making a video of the pistol and posting it on social media, he has created panic in the society," said the officer. According to the police, the video that is now viral is also from some time ago.
'When people started to talk about the mysterious role of people wearing TOB t-shirts and jackets in the movement, a search was started about wearing such t-shirts,' said the police officer, 'It seems that an old video like that may have gone viral.'
