On October 25, there was a mass murder incident in Chhayanath Rara Municipality-6, Mandu village of Mugu.

The CIB team is actively investigating and conducting inquiries at the local incident site and other places.

A canine unit was also deployed to investigate the incident and has since returned to Nepalgunj. Chairman Rawal stated, "The arrival of the CIB team has raised hopes."
Karnali Province DIG Bhim Prasad Dhakal himself reached the district to investigate the incident in detail. Initially, the relatives of the victims had refused to receive the bodies until the police successfully identified the culprits. However, following the police's assurance of bringing the perpetrators to justice, a mass cremation for the deceased took place on November 3.
On October 27, two days after the tragic event, the police arrived at the scene and discovered the lifeless bodies of Sridevi Bohora, 28, her son Manoj, 11, her daughter Apsara, 8, and her 8-month-old son Rahar Bohora inside their home. Deepak Bohora, Sridevi's husband, who had been working in Qatar for foreign employment, returned home on the same day.
