NARAYANGADH, May 15 - Intervening over a disciplinary issue at a school, Young Communist League (YCL) cadres allegedly beat up and injured two school teachers of Someshwor Higher Secondary School at Madi of the district Wednesday.

The teachers -- Krishna Prasad Pathak and Ramnath Tiwari -- were badly injured.

According to the victims, YCL cadres led by area in-charge, Chandra Bahadur Darai, turned up at the school, responding to a complaint of eighth grader Shankar Chhetri and beat them up severely.

Chhetri, who was scolded by teachers a few days ago after he was found bringing a nunchaku --a martial art weapon -- to school and also for disturbing the class, had reportedly called the YCL men.

Prior to this, Chhetri and his classmate Dan Bahadur Magar had been involved in fisticuffs. According to school teachers, Magar, following their dispute, had called his brother to the school and beat up Chhetri on Tuesday. In response, Chhetri had also beat up Magar with the help of other friends while the latter was returning home the same day.

Following the "gang fight", the teachers felt insecure and also requested the school administration to sort out the problem. "But even as the principal assured he would settle the dispute, we were beaten up by YCL men," said an injured Pathak.

The incident occurred even as the Principal Arjunanda Adhikari made both the students apologize on Tuesday itself.

"YCL cadres showed up at the school in the early school hours and beat us up with sticks while we were reading the newspaper on the ground," said Tiwari.

Pathak is receiving treatment at Bharatpur Hospital while Tiwari was taken to Medical College as his condition was serious, the Hospital source said.

5 brothers assaulted over land dispute

YCL Cadres assaulted five brothers at Pame in Pokhara on Wednesday.

Krishna Bahadur Adhikari, along with his four brothers --Min Bahadur, Bam Bahadur, Bharat Bahadur and Narayan Bahadur of Kaskikot-- was beaten by around 60 YCL cadres over a land related dispute.

Of the injured, Min Bahadur is in critical condition. He is undergoing treatment at Western Regional Hospital in Pokhara. He has sustained serious injuries on his face and chest.

"As we reached Pame to rescue my brother upon learning that Krishna was assaulted by YCL cadres, they attacked us with bamboo sticks," said Min Bahadur.

YCL cadres also vandalized Min Bahadur's motorbike. According to Krishna Bahadur, YCL cadres attacked him and his brothers for tilling their land at Pame, claiming that the land actually belonged to one Tek Bahadur.

District police did not make any arrest citing that details of the incident were not substantial.
