KATHMANDU, Oct 3: Police have arrested Badri Sahani, one of the accused of the Rautahat mass killing in 2008, from the Indian side of the Nepal-India border on Saturday.

A team of police from the Province 2 Police Office, Janakpurdham, arrested Sahani, 44, a permanent resident of Simraungadh Municipality-4, on the charge of killing and injuring nearly two dozen people in 2008. Police arrested Sahani with the help of the Indian Police.

“Acting on a special tip-off, we arrested Sahani from the border region,” confirmed Deputy Inspector General (DIG), Dhiraj Pratap Singh, who is the chief of the Province Police Office.

In 2008, a massive blast occurred in Rautahat district, leaving 14 dead and eight injured. The dead and blast-injured were later thrown into a nearby brick kiln to destroy evidence. It was later learnt that Nepali Congress leader Mohammad Aftab Alam carried out the bomb attack to create terror in the 2008 Constituent Assembly elections for securing win.

According to DIG Singh, Sahani was the head mason of the brick industry. “I threw at least 16 dead and injured persons into the brick kiln at the direction of Alam,” Sahani told the police during the interrogation.

Police have already arrested Nepali Congress leader Alam, who is currently in judicial custody.

Alam was elected lawmaker from Rautahat Constituency-2 in the first Constituent Assembly elections in 2008. Meanwhile, he lost the second Constituent Assembly elections in 2013. But in the parliamentary elections of 2017, Alam won from Rautahat Constituency-2.
