KATHMANDU: A mysterious fire has destroyed the Surkhet-based ‘Shanta Ko Achar’ outlet owned by former lawmaker and CPN-UML leader Shanta Chaudhary.

The fire broke out later that night.
According to preliminary estimates, the incident has caused damage worth approximately Rs 1.5 m
Terming the incident “unfortunate,” Chaudhary has demanded an immediate and thorough investigation to identify the culprits and take strict action.
Expressing her frustration on social media, Chaudhary wrote: “There seems to be fire in every step of my life. Which criminal set fire to my outlet in Surkhet? I request Nepal Police to immediately identify the culprit and take action.”
The outlet had been launched amid a grand ceremony, making the fire—just a day after opening—highly suspicious and a subject of public concern. Police have initiated an investigation into the incident.
