Maoists have targetted many individuals separately and extorted, beaten them up without the news ever hitting media. This particular one with Hari shrestha's beaten up black and closed eye has been an eye opener for the public at large. As private citizens they do not have the power or the pull to come out in the open, but as businessmen who are responsible for the economy of the country they have the capacity and the power to make things happen. They have to tread well and tread carefully so that they don't walk on traps placed by the exhortionists.
