KATHMANDU: A junior staff of the Surya Nepal, a subsidiary of Indian conglomerate ITC, was killed by a Terai armed group in Bara district in southern part of the Himalayan nation.

Gopal Lamichhanek, a Nepali worker working in the Indo-Nepal joint venture was killed by Janatantrik Terai Mukti Morcha-Jwalasing group on Wednesday after being abducted from the factory, a private television channel said. He was killed for allegedly wo rking against the interest of the Madhesi people.

Surya Nepal, in which dethroned King Gyanendra also has shares, is the largest manufacturer of tobacco products in Nepal. In the past the Indian joint venture frequently came under attack from the Maoists. But now after the Maoists have joined mainstrea m politics, it now seems to be the turn of the Terai outfit to threaten the Indian joint ventures. - PTI
