Police in Kathmandu have arrested two men in connection with an alleged assault on the principal of Bal Uddhar Secondary School in Kapan, Budhanilkantha Municipality-10, after the incident was reported at the school premises at around 10:34 am on Asoj 22. District Police Range Kathmandu said a team from Police Circle Boudha investigated after receiving information about the incident. Reports also say a female teacher was subjected to misbehaviour during the episode.
Two residents of Kapan arrested
The arrested men have been identified as 36-year-old Nischal Dahal and 44-year-old Dhruba Prasad Ghimire. Dahal is originally from Barahakshetra Municipality-7 in Sunsari, while Ghimire is from Dudhauli Municipality-1 in Sindhuli. Both are currently living in Kapan, according to the information reported about the arrests.
Police linked the arrests to the incident at the school and said officers from Police Circle Boudha looked into the matter after receiving information. The available details identify the two men and describe where they are from and where they currently live, but do not provide further information about their relationship to the school or the circumstances leading up to the confrontation.
Incident reported on school premises
The reported assault took place within the school premises at about 10:34 am on Asoj 22. The incident involved the school’s principal, according to the reports. The available information does not specify how the assault unfolded, whether anyone else was injured, or what may have prompted the incident. The allegations remain the basis for the police action described in the reports.
The reports also mention misbehaviour toward a female teacher during the incident. They do not provide her identity or describe the conduct in further detail. The information does not establish whether the teacher made a separate complaint or whether police have taken any additional action related to that report.
Police investigation
District Police Range Kathmandu said the investigation began after police received information about what had happened. A team from Police Circle Boudha then looked into the incident, which was reported at the school in Kapan. The arrests followed that police response, according to the details released in the reports.
The case concerns alleged conduct at a school, involving both the principal and a report of mistreatment of a teacher. However, the information available so far is limited to the reported time and location, the identities and addresses of the two arrested men, and the police response. It does not state what specific legal provisions may apply, whether formal charges have been filed, or what the next steps in the investigation will be.
The arrests bring the two men into police custody in connection with the incident, but an arrest is not a determination of guilt. Further details about the allegations and the investigation were not included in the information reported by the sources.
