The killing is a shame for law enforcement and for the so-called sensitive and dynamic Home Minister, Sudan Gurung. Transferring officers and holding them accountable for the Sihara communal violence does not help address violent communal conflicts. What are the reasons for the declining credibility and confidence in law enforcement and police personnel? There is also a gross misunderstanding among the public and non-police professionals about the actions of law enforcement. The recent Hindu-Muslim communal violence in Siraha is not the first such incident, and it certainly will not be the last.
