The three main accused behind the abduction and murder of Raj Kumar Shrestha, Tulsipur-based businessman, are still at large.

Police has announced a reward of Rs 100,000 for any information about the trio—Man Bahadur Bhandari, Tikaram Gharti and Puja Gharti.

Fifty-three-year-old,  who owned a clothing store in Tulsipur, Dang, was abducted on the night of June 9.

His body was recovered in a forest at Jhipe Lek Bhanjyang of Chatreshwor Rural Municipality in Salyan on June 30.

The kidnapping took place while Shrestha was travelling to Salyan with Rana Bahaudr Gharti, who too is missing after the incident.

Police suspect that Gharti may have had a role in Shrestha’s kidnapping plot and that he could be in hiding like the other three main suspects.
