Well, people talk about Kantipur's neutral role in Nepali media but it's not difficult to see that the wide readership of the publication has been constantly misused for creating more problems than finding solutions. Presently, with a maoist supporter as the editor, it is natural that it indirectly favours the maoists while maligning others at crucial times, though things may appear different on the surface. This piece of news seems to be one falling in the category of those 'haawa' news appearing on 2-page evening papers.  But if there is some element of truth in the news, then one should assume that the moists have won the battle. They have been successful in what they intended to do ever since they came to power - weakening the army by creating fractions in it.
