The HMG and RNA see now they have serious PR (and political) problem on their hands - and they are appointing a High Level Commission, promise compensation:
Govt forms high-level probe team over Nagarkot incident
The government has formed a high level judicial investigation team over the Nagarkot incident in which 11 local residents and an army solider were killed and at least 19 others were injured after the army man ?went on a shooting spree following disputes? last night.
The Home Ministry in a press statement this afternoon said the three-member probe team led by former Supreme Court Justice Top Bahadur Singh has been given five days to present a report on the tragic incident. The panel also comprises former Attorney General Prem Bahadur Bista and Deputy Attorney General Drona Raj Regmi.
Saying that the government has taken the killing very seriously, the Home Ministry stated that the families of the victims would be offered a compensation of Rs.150 hundred each and the injured persons would be provided medical treatment for free.
Rs.150 hundred=1,802 Euro / 2,152 US Dollar , a SERIOUS amount in Hill Nepal, another sign of how worried HMG and RNA are!
