The assailants attacked the victim with khukuri first and shot at him later as he tried to retaliate.
The victim, who sustained bullet injuries at right knee and serious injuries in various parts of the body, was taken to Biratnagar-based Neuro Hospital as his treatment was not possible in Taplejung District Hospital. Karki, a farmer, was alone at home when the incident took place.
Police suspect that the assailants are not local people. The motive behind the attack is not immediately known, police said, adding that security personnel were deployed to nab the assailants. (PR)
