Cadres of Netra Bikram Chand smeared soot on a teacher of Baghbachhala Secondary School in Dhading district on Monday.

Eyewitness said students of Chand's party affiliated All Nepal National Independent Students Union (Revolutionary) smeared soot on Ganesh Shrestha's face.

ANNISU-R district chairman Badri Adhikari said the action on Shrestha was taken after he was released by police from rape charges due to his political connection.
