Food denied for the arrested in Paras's car stoning incident In a shocking incident, police denied food and water to about 20 people, including five students of VS Niketan School, arrested Friday afternoon on charges of stoning the vehicles of the king and the crown prince. The police did not even inform the families of their detention. The arrested students were located by their parents Saturday afternoon after visiting several police stations. "Since his mobile was cut off and he did not return home Friday night, we started searching for my son," said Hari Thapaliya, father of detained Nava Raj Thapaliya. There are 13 persons including a 12-year old boy being kept in a dark room at Tinkune police post without food and water. Others in detention include Raj Kumar Bhandari (Ramechhap), Rabindra Karki (Bha-ktapur), Suman Bhetwal (Dallu), Surya Prakash Bhatta (Buddha-nagar) and Rajendra Kafle (Gothatar). Also in detention are Yuba Raj Rai (Minbh-awan), Padam Bahadur Magar (Minbhawan), Raj Kumar Shrestha (Dha-ding), Binay Aryal (Shank-hamool), Shankar Thing (Minbhawan), Ram Hari Neupane (Nuwakot) and Bidir Karki (Tehrathum). Most of them are college students. Police also arrested five students of VS Niketan School, including Subash Lama, from the street near the school. The students are supposed to sit for school exams from Sunday. Navaraj Parajuli, a former people's representative from Koteshwor, alleged that a police official lied to him saying all the detainees were given food, but an assistant sub-inspector said they were given nothing as "they were arrested at 2 in the morning". Parajuli took food for 13 detainees from a nearby office canteen Saturday evening. The detainees also complained that police beat them up and forced them to admit pelting stones at the VVIP vehicles after a CPN-UML rally dispersed Friday afternoon. DSP Ganesh KC said that the police are probing into their involvement in stoning the motorcade and said those found innocent will be released on Sunday.
