Nepal -- Rakesh Gurung, 19, a karate player, who entered into a brawl with a body guard of general secretary Madhav Kumar Nepal in Kathmandu Tuesday evening died in a shoot out.
Gurung along with one other person, who were on a motorbike had stopped a jeep driven by Govinda Upreti. Assistant Police Sub Inspector Man Bahadur Adhikari was in the jeep. They were returning to a barrack after reaching the general secretary home.
The motorbike had intercepted the jeep. Gurung and his friend had opened the door of the jeep and manhandled Adhikari and the driver, police said.
Gurung reportedly charged Upreti with a knife following a squable injuring him on the side of his ear, police said.
Police said that Adhikari reached out for his pistol on receiving death threats from Gurung who had a knife in his hand.
Adhikari fired two shots. Gurung was then rushed to hospital where he died while undergoing treatment.
Although police have claimed that Adhikari had fired at Gurung in self-defence, different organisations-most of them related with sports, have accused that the incident has been given a twist and the truth hidden.
They have accused the police of taking the life of a renowned karate player over a trifle matter.
