Very bad incident happened with my friend's family otherday. He received a phone call on Wednesday, January 17, 2007, from his family in Kathmandu, Nepal. He was informed that 10-12 armed men in total head masks entered into his home compound on that day arround 2pm in the afternoon and proceeded to tie up his two employees and lock them in a room. These armed men then found his mother, who was alone at the time. She was brutally beaten and her life was threatened with guns and Nepali Khukuris (a large machete-type knife). His mom pleaded for her life stating that these armed men were like her sons, and she like their mother, and that she was a devotee of Guru Sai-Baba. They proceeded to drag his mother by the hair upstairs where they slapped and kicked her and proceeded to tie her up. The armed men then cut off all the telephone lines. They ransacked all the safe boxes, closets and rooms and robbed anything of value in his family home including jewelry, currency, ornaments, etc. and destroying anything they could not take. These looters were related with gangsters,maoist and police all. Thesedays things are not good in Nepal. Looting,Kidnaping and robbery are highly progression. There is not any public safty at all. Everyday there are more than half a dozen such bad incident happens and they target mostly local people and we are highly victimised. It is very very hard to tolorate. My dear friends, we should not keep quiet. Otherday it happend to your neighbour & relatives , today it happend to me and tomorrow it could happen to you.
