First, it was Lok Raj Baral -- a harmless 70-year old political science professor.
Then others were arrested.
Now, Kanak too.
*************************************
Kanak Mani Dixit, the Editor and Publisher of Himal Khabarpatrika
fortnightly magazine was taken into custody by police on Monday
evening.
Plainclothes policemen who had been waiting at his home took him away
saying the "Superintendent wants to talk to you."
Dixit then drove to thepolice station in his own car. His wife who
went to the police station in jawalakhel where he is being kept wasn't told
the reason for the detention nor how long he will be kept.
