A suspicious object has been spotted outside the house belonging to CPN-UML politburo member and former Communications Minister Gokul Prasad Baskota on Sunday morning.
Deputy Superintendent of Police Raju Pandey, spokesperson at Bhaktapur Police Range, said the suspicious object was found outside Baskota’s house in Lokanthali, adding that a bomb disposal squad of the Nepal Army has reached the spot.
