Local people were affected because of the shut down as transportation and market places were closed since the morning. The shutdown was called demanding suspension of police officers involved in the killing of gangster Chari and independent investigation into the murder case.
Chari was also the district vice chairperson Dhading-1. UML Dhading district chairman Bhumi Tripathi informed that the shutdown, done as symbolic form of protest, was called off. “We will sit for a meeting to plan our strategy in the coming days,” he said.
Gangster Chari was killed in a police encounter near Bhimdhunga, 7 km south of Kathmandu, on Wednesday.
While the police have been claiming that notorious gangster Chari was shot dead in an encounter, relatives of the dead have claimed that police killed him in a fake encounter.
Several CPN-UML lawmakers have demanded investigation into the death of Chari .
