KATHMANDU, May 7: Under the charges of leaking “controversial” 16-month-old video footages about party Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal’s instruction to PLA men, the Unified Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) has detained some “suspicious people” for interrogation, Image FM said.

The party has started interrogation on the people involved in shooting the videos and other audio-video programs of the Maoist party, the FM said quoting unnamed Maoist source. The FM, however, did not disclose who were the people arrested on the charges of leaking the footage and where they have been kept.

Caretaker Prime Minister and Chairman of Unified Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) Dahal on Wednesday said his party is seriously probing into the leaking of the footage though he was not afraid of it.

The footages made public through Image Channel immediately after Dahal stepped down revealed that the Maoists were misleading the United Nations Mission in Nepal (UNMIN) about the strength of PLA, their strategy to control power and use of the money provided to martyrs’ family members and PLA fighters kept in UN-monitored cantonments.

Dahal, however, has claimed the instruction in the video footages were given to PLA men in the context when Cons***uent ***embly polls were becoming uncertain and did not have relevance in present context.
