Demonstrators took out a rally in the capital Monday demanding action against the Prince who was involved in a previous accident in which a taxi driver was killed in the capital. The controversial activities of the Prince figured for the first time in Parliament while communist students last week protested in front of his home demanding punitive action. PAC summoned Home Secretary Padma Prasad Pokhrel and inquired about case involving Nepal Police illegally using public land in Naxal for the purpose of petrol pump. Police have opened a petrol pump for the commercial purpose encroaching the public land adjoining Police Headquarters in Naxal. Home Secretary Pokhrel informed the lawmakers in the PAC meeting Monday that he had no information about that.
Officials say police used the public land without informing the concerned government agencies.
