Raj Shah, the coordinator of the theatre, informed that they came to know about the incident only on Saturday morning. The neighbours said that they didn’t hear any strange noises till 10 at night, he added.

He also claimed that the attack seemed premeditated and can’t be a work of the local goons.

‘A stool and large stone found at the site of incident are peculiar that are not normally found around here. Had it been the work of local goons, they would not have bothered to bring the tool and stone from somewhere else and throw at our theatre,” added Shah.  

The owner of the theatre and a Nepali art veteran Ashesh Malla said that more than the physical damage, the incident is an attack to the whole Nepali art and theatre fraternity.

Police have collected the evidences from the site and are carrying out investigation on the matter.
