Protestors burn Indian newspapers

KATHMANDU, JUNE 3. Nepalese protestors burned Indian newspapers here today for carrying reports holding the Crown Prince responsible for the deaths of the King, Queen and six other royals.

Witnesses said crowds seized Indian dailies from newspaper stalls and distributors and set them afire.

Ironically, the protestors' anger appeared to have been fuelled by their own Government's reluctance to offer a full and credible account of the circumstances surrounding Friday night's killings at the royal palace.

After burning the newspapers, they shouted slogans demanding a full and impartial probe.

More than 500 motorcycle riders protested in the capital with similar demands for an inquiry.
