The committee formed to investigate the clash in Kailali prison has prepared a report on the clash between the internal administration of the prison.
Assistant Chief District Officer Kiran Joshi, coordinator of the committee formed to investigate the incident, said that the incident occurred due to differences in the internal administration of the prison. He said, "After studying the scene of the incident, we talked with the injured inmates, the condition of the prison, the security personnel assigned for security, and the administrators. It seems that there is a difference between the internal administration between the 'A block' and 'B block' inside the prison.' Joshi says that there is a need for a high-level investigation with experts to bring out more facts of the
incident. He said, 'During the study of the scene, the CCTV footage was not clear, the person as stated by the injured denied involvement in the incident and there was no basis to confirm it based on the conversation with them, so a high-level committee with experts is necessary.' The
committee has been given 10 days time and has submitted the study report to the Chief District Officer . On July 23, one person died in a clash between inmates in the prison. 49 prisoners were injured. Three seriously injured people are still being treated in Kathmandu.
Among those undergoing treatment at Seti Provincial Hospital Dhangadhi, 41 people have been 'discharged'. Three of them have been transferred to Kanchanpur Jail and one to Nawalparasi Jail. Even if the hospital discharges, many prisoners are staying in the hospital. It is said that the management is being done by transferring them to the prison of their choice. After the
incident, the government has recalled Kailali Chief District Officer Gogan Bahadur Hamal and appointed Krishna Prasad Lamsal. Similarly, a new person has been assigned to the head of the prison branch. There are currently 697 prisoners in the Kailali prison, which accommodates 150 people.
