A group of 60 Unified Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist (UCPN-M) cadres from the Chulachuli-based People's Liberation Army (PLA) first division camp of Ilam attacked local people of Kamal Jhoda, injuring at least 12 people, in the night of May 16, reports Kantipuronline. According to the account of the local people, the Maoists had entered the village at around 11pm and launched the attack in seven houses. The Maoists also captured five local youths Chabbi Subba, Gyanu Limbu, Birhang Limbu, Dipendra Tumbahamphe and Bishal Sunuwar and took them to the camp. They were freed 16 hours after they were captured in the afternoon of May 17. Two others, who had gone missing after the incident, came in contact in the morning. The PLA first division owned up the attack but refuted the local people's claim of abducting the five youths. They were not kidnapped. They were brought to the camp for treatment, as they were injured in the incident, said Sangram Thapa, secretary of the PLA first division camp. Police also said five youths had sustained minor injuries. It is learned that the attack was instigated as an act of revenge, as six PLA combatants were injured in a clash with the local people of Kali Jhoda recently. Meanwhile, the Nepali Congress (NC) claimed that the people attacked and captured by the PLA combatants were the cadres of the party.
