With just two days away for the second phase of local level elections, a bomb exploded at the CPN-UML mayoral candidate Tara Subba’s house in Dharan on Monday.

According to an eye witness Ranjit Rai, a group of two unidentified persons— wearing white shirts and  half pants—had hurled the explosive device inside the compound of Rai’s house this morning.

Rai was sitting inside his room when the incident occurred.

It has been learnt that Rai came outside his room after he heard the sound of a powerful explosion.

“Most probably anti-election elements had set off  the explosive device to threaten me,” hehe said, adding, “I do not care about my life.”

A police team deployed under ward police office In-Charge JB Limbu reached Rai's house following the incident.

Police said that they are looking into the case.

The second phase of local polls has been scheduled for June 28 in 35 districts of Province 1, 5 and 7.
