A Maoist faction formed by former ex-combatants had left Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) in at least eight schools, and two of these IEDs exploded and caused damage to school infrastructure.
Police later arrested two suspects and presented them before media. 31-year-old Shankar Lakhe of Ramechhap and 24-year-old Chandra Bahadur Tamang of Sindhuli were arrested from their rented room in Baudha, Kathmandu.
"Schools are meant to be safe havens, whether in the public or private domains, and must remain as areas where children can learn and grow up in safe and happy environment free from any violence and threats," said Tomoo Hozumi, UNICEF Nepal Representative.
