Kathmandu:

Nepal’s Deputy Prime Minister Sujata
Koirala has accused former prince Paras of attempting to shoot her
daugther and son-in-law in a jungle resort in Chitwan, about 200 km
southwest of the capital. Koirala, presently in Bangkok, called Prime
Minister Madhav Kumar Nepal on Sunday and reported the incident that
allegedly took place on Friday evening.

“Paras shot at my
daughter and son-in-law, but he missed,” Sujata is believed to have told
Nepal. Paras was back in the capital on Saturday, according to sources.

Koirala’s daughter
Melina and her husband Rubel Chaudhary, a Bangladeshi national, are
“safe” and “have taken refuge in a guest house in Gaindakot area, about
30 km away from Tiger tops jungle lodge,” Sujata is believed to have
told the Prime Minister. Home Minister Bhim Rawal, who was instructed by
the Prime Minister to arrest Paras immediately, is believed to have
assured the latter that he would have the incident probed, but refused
to arrest the former prince as no formal complaint had been lodged yet.
