Rudra Bahadur Thapa, who allegedly killed Rohit Kumar Ojha following a dispute, was nabbed from a hotel in Badaha-2 in Rupandehi district. Ojha had gone missing from the Jawalakhel-based Artillery Directorate from February 27 this year. His body was later dug out a place near Bishnu Durbar in Shivapuri forest as per Thapa's statement. During police interrogation, Thapa confessed that he murdered Ojha by using his belt the same day he went missing following a dispute over Ojha's extramarital relationship with Thapa's wife Astha. Thapa said he returned two days later to bury the body.
