Earlier, police had prevented his from reaching the site owing to some security reasons.

KC, who had entered a restaurant near TU Teaching Hospital to have meal, before starting the hunger strike, could not emerge from the restaurant as some group started chanting slogans against KC.

KC, senior orthopedic doctor at the TUTH, had reached Momo Magic restaurant at around 1.30 PM today.

Doctor KC had announced fast-unto-death strike against the Tribhuvan University (TU) executive council's decision to appoint Dr. Sashi Sharma as the new IoM dean.

Police had tried to dissuade doctor KC from staging hunger strike saying that they could not provide security.

Earlier, through his fast-unto-death protests, Dr. KC had compelled the TU to appoint IoM officials based on seniority and competence.
