The unidentified men sprinkled petrol on the vehicle and set fire to it. Both the front tyres have been damaged in the inferno.
Meanwhile, the land cruiser (Ra 1 Ja 365) of Chaudhary was also torched last night. The vehicle was torched while parking outside the house at Dandagaun in Laxmipur of Dang district.
Likewise, in Ghorahi, police intervened when a group tried to torch a vehicle of UCPN (Maoist) used for election campaign.
Meanwhile, police have been investigating the incident.
As the much-anticipated Constituent Assembly (CA) election nears, the rising anti-election activities have posed a serious challenge to security arrangements that are being made.
