Dec 4, 2017-Nepali Congress (NC) federal parliament candidate from Kathmandu constituency-4 Gagan Thapa, who was receiving treatment at the Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital (TUTH) following a bomb explosion at Chapali height, Narayansthan on Monday afternoon, has been discharged from the hospital.
After his discharge from the hospital, he urged voters not to be terrorised from the violent incident.
“The bomb was detonated targeting me,” former Health Minister Thapa said, adding, “I was taking quick steps as the door-to-door campaign started one hour late than the scheduled time. That is why some of my friends behind me sustained injuries.”
Thapa and 10 others were injured when an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) exploded in broad daylight today.
This is the first incident of IED explosion in country's capital Kathmandu in the run-up to the second phase of parliamentary and provincial elections slated for December 7.
Thapa was in a door-to-door election campaign when the explosion occurred.
