A horrific incident that took place on Friday, March 28, at the Koteshwar showroom of Nepal’s largest supermarket chain Bhat-Bhateni has shaken the business world of the capital. In fact, the violent group of protesters not only vandalized the showroom, but also looted crores of rupees. This incident has exposed the failure and insecurity of the administration as well as become a cause of serious concern among the traders.
According to sources, goods worth about Rs 1 crore were looted. The attackers mainly targeted electronics, expensive branded products and other valuables. The supermarket has suffered a loss of Rs 80 lakh in this incident, which also includes the vandalism of glass panels and showcases.
Traders panic, questions on the accountability of the administration
Supermarket COO Panu Paudel says that during the robbery, about Rs 94,000 in cash was also stolen from the supermarket counter. This incident was not just a vandalism, but was part of a well-planned robbery. This type of violence has created fear among traders and local residents.
Also, this incident highlights the lack of security arrangements of the administration. During such robbery in a busy area of the capital, the presence of police was negligible, which created an atmosphere of insecurity. The traders association has now demanded strict action from the government, so that such incidents can be prevented in future.
Arrests were made, but questions remain
The local police and the Crime Investigation Office have taken swift action in the case and arrested nine suspects. Police say that the investigation is going on and the remaining accused are also being searched for. However, the question arises that when such a large-scale robbery can happen, how is the security system working?
Violence turned into a protest
This incident took place during a protest, which was led by pro-monarchy groups. The protesters first raised their voice in the market and later turned this movement into violence. This incident shows that if anarchy and violence are promoted in the name of protest, it will have a deep impact not only on business but also on the security of the society.
After this incident, pressure has increased on the Nepal government and administration. Traders have demanded strict security arrangements from the administration so that such attacks do not happen in the future.
