Krishna Bahadur Gole was reportedly arrested by army personnel on 23 October, during a search operation in Kaleswor village, Lalitpur district, 50 kilometres from Kathmandu. His whereabouts are unknown. Four other unidentified men arrested in the same area were later found shot dead. Amnesty International is gravely concerned for Krishna Bahadur Gole's safety.

The previous day, army personnel had gone to a place called Batase Danda, near Kaleswor, in response to reports that members of the armed political group the Communist Party of Nepal (CPN) (Maoist) had gathered there. The army team, reportedly from the Raj Dal Barracks in Lalitpur, searched several houses in Kaleswor before arresting Krishna Bahadur Gole early the following morning. He was seen being driven away in a military van at about midday.

Krishna Bahadur Gole works as a peon (low level administrative assistant) at Bagh Bhairavan, the local secondary school. The reasons for his arrest are unknown, but it may be on suspicion of supporting or assisting the CPN (Maoist).

On 23 October, around 11am, villagers from a neighbouring village, Chandanpur, heard shots coming from the direction of the jungle near Kaleswor. On 26 October, human rights activists visited the area where shots had been heard. They found four dead bodies at a place called Nigale Gairho in the Panighat community forest, near Kaleswor. According to witnesses, one body could be Risheswor Adhikari, from Kaleswor. Two of the dead men were thought to be members of the Tamang and one from the Magar ethnic communities, but their names are not known.

The bodies each had three bullet wounds - one in the face, one in the chest and one in the stomach. It is feared that they were summarily executed. Villagers alleged that the four dead men were unarmed members of the CPN (Maoist) who had been arrested by the army, taken to the jungle and shot dead.

It is not known what happened to the bodies after the human rights activists had visited the area. To Amnesty International's knowledge, the bodies have not been taken for post mortem examination.
