As unexpected results continue to manifest after Nepal’s recent election, one particular result is worth noting: Baban Singh from Gaur, the capital of Rautahat district. Mr. Singh, allegedly, is an old-school flatlands dacoit (though not as cool as some).
Mr. Singh, according to NepalNews.com, is one of wanted criminals in Nepal.
Baban had openly admitted to have masterminded the September’s blasts in Kathmandu, describing the terror attack as an act of vengeance of Madhesi people against the state. He has been in the ‘most wanted’ list of the police for quite a long time.
To really capture the significance of this moment, see the newscast reporting the story. Note the ‘Wanted’ poster for Mr. Singh. This part of Nepal (and the bordering area of India), it is worth noting, is not unlike the Wild West.
