Notorious gangster Kumar Shrestha alias ‘Ghainte’ was gunned down by police at Kapurdhara in Samakhus
Kathmandu, on Thursday. Police said he was killed as they fired back in self-defence
Ghainte’s death comes just over a year after the death of infamous gangster Dinesh Adhikari ‘Chari’ in an encounter with police in Bhimdhunga, Kathmandu.
Doctors at the Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital said Shrestha had died before he was brought there. Bullets were lodged in his chest and thigh.
Senior Superintendent of Police Sarvendra Khanal of the Metropolitan Police Crime Division said ‘Ghainte’ had misbehaved with the police and did not allow the officials to carry out their routine search in the Samakhusi area.
“The guy instead ran for a few minutes before opening fire on security personnel,” said SSP Khanal. “Our team fired back in retaliation. We learnt later that it was Kumar Ghainte.”
Although police claimed that two other persons shot at besides Ghainte were his partners, locals said the duo has no connection with the gangster. Surin Maharjan and Raj Maharjan, two siblings, were injured in the leg in the shoot-out.
Police said they recovered an automatic pistol, three bullets and six shells from the crime scene. SSP Khanal said they had maintained special vigilance in the area following complaints from businesspersons and locals of threats by gangsters.
