A man accused in the murder of an Assistant Sub-Inspector Biru Bahadur Gurung turned himself in to police on Wednesday in Dhading.

Sushil Gurung aka ‘Shanta Lal’ told the police in his statement that he attacked ASI Gurung and his wife Tara with a wooden log after he caught them red-handed in a compromising position at his house on the night of July 27 while he was returning from work in neighbouring village Marpak.

Gurung added that both his wife and ASI had fled the scene to escape the attack. He said that he followed the duo but could not catch them and left the village after he found the ASI dead the next day.

Gurung surrendered to police through the political party he was affiliated to.

Following the incident, a police team deployed from the District Police Office, Dhading, arrested Tara on July 28.

DSP Dipendra Panjiyar said police have been investigating into the incident.
