Lokendra does it again







Kantipur Report


KATHMANDU, April 1 - Maoist lawmaker Lokendra Bista - who hit the news headlines on February 26 for boasting during a meeting in parliament that he had a pistol in his pocket and using abusive language - did it again Saturday. This time, he vented anger on a taxi driver just outside Singha Durbar.
At around 11:00 am, Bista delivered three punches to the taxi driver outside Singha Durbar south gate. Bista became furious with the cabbie when the latter demanded a "certain amount of taxi fare"

Though the cabbie apologized after the first two punches, Bista could not resist landing another one in the face. Even earlier on February 15, police posted at Singh Durbar gate seized a pistol which Bista was trying to take into parliament with him.
