A group of unidentified persons hurled a petrol bomb at the Shivapuri Water Industry in the Capital on Monday.

According to Ramesh Mahat, the company manager, a group of five masked persons took the company guard under control and threw the Molotov cocktail in the industry.

A car (Ba 6 Cha 1172) and a motorcycle (Ba 51 Pa 8513) parked in the premises of the company have completely been damaged in the attack.

Similarly, another motorcycle (Ba 26 Pa 8513) has been partially damaged.

Mahat, who is also a leader of the Nepali Congress, said that the attack is politically motivated as it comes just before the local level elections.

Police said that they are searching for the miscreants. RSS
