One killed in Nepal protest
One person was killed and dozens injured in Nepal when police opened fire on protesters demanding action over the rape and murder of a 13-year-old girl, officials said yesterday.
Angry crowds took to the streets in the country's remote west on Friday accusing police of protecting the person responsible for the brutal crime.
Police officer Krishna Raj Ojha told AFP that 17-year-old Sani Khuna was killed "in firing to contain the violent protest". An indefinite curfew has been imposed in the area, he added.
Schoolgirl Nirmala Panta went missing in late July and her body was found the following day in a sugar-cane field.
