Prakash Dahal suspended due to his affair with another married student leader

UCPN (Maoist) has suspended party Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal’s son Prakash Dahal from the party’s Newa State Committee over his alleged extramarital affair with student leader Bina Magar.

Bina, the president of the Free Students Union of Saraswoti Campus and a central committee member of All Nepal National Independent Students Union (Revolutionary) and Prakash are apparently not in contact with their families for the past few days.

After getting divorce with the first wife, two years ago, Dahal has married for the second time and has a one-year-old son from his second wife. Magar is also a married to a different person.

Since Everest expedition in May 2012, rumours were being heard about their public display of affection and illicit relation. Magar was also in that expedition team.

As the serious questions were raised in public over Dahal’s activities, the party has suspended him and has initiated an investigation into the matter, according to party spokesperson Dina Nath Sharma.
