Kathmandu, May 31: Nepal's Supreme Court justice Rana Bahadur Bam was shot dead by unidentified gunmen in Kathmandu on Thursday.

According to police, two men on motorcycle stopped the car he was travelling in while returning from a local temple and shot him several times through the window. He was immediately rushed to a hospital.

He had been shot in the head and when he was brought to Norvic Hospital, his condition was not very good, said a hospital source. "He had been taken to two other hospitals before he was brought here," the source who did not want to be named said.

No arrests have been made. His bodyguard has been injured but nothing happened to his driver, who is being held by the police for questioning.

"Investigations are underway," said Rabiraj Shrestha, police spokesman.

Bam, 61, was a controversial judge against whom the process of impeachment was underway for his "inability to fulfill his responsibilities" but no such proposal had been registered in the now defunct parliament.

He was not handling any cases in the court, according to Supreme Court spokesman Shrikanta Poudel. He did not elaborate the reason behind it.

According to local reports, a pamphlet of an unheard of Nepalbad Party was found at the scene of the crime. The pamphlet said that this action was taken against corruption in the judiciary.

Ahmedabad, Jan 20: Cops in Gandhinagar fell in a catch-22 situation when a state government employee approached them with a complaint that the 26-year-old woman class teacher of his 14-year-old son had gone missing taking his son in tow. The man, who works at Udyog Bhavan in Gandhinagar said the woman had seduced his teenage son, who studies in class VIII and taken him away with her. The boy had gone missing from 4pm on Friday, and the classteacher was also missing.

A police official said the woman teacher had been too intimate with the allegedly missing boy for around a year, and the school authorities had recently rebuked them. “As their relationship was unaccepted, they left their homes on Friday,” he said. It was rare to find a case of a woman teacher eloping with her teenage student, the official added.

An FIR for elopement under Section 363 IPC has been registered with Kalol city police in Gandhinagar district. The complaint stated the teacher is a resident of Darbari chawl in Kalol town.

“When I reached home at around 7pm, I found my son missing. My wife told me he had left home at around 4pm. We searched for him in the neighbourhood and among relatives, but couldn’t trace him,” claims the teenage boy’s father in the FIR. “I went to the teacher’s house but they were not there,” the man stated.

Inspector K K Desai of Kalol city police said the missing duo could not be traced as they were not carrying cellphones.
