One of the offshoots is the Chand-led Communist Party of Nepal, which claims to be an original Maoist party. Since joining the peace process in 2006, the Maoist group has split more than four times. The resulting conflict claimed the lives of more than 16,000 people, leaving thousands injured.
The Chand-led Communist Party is a splinter group of the Maoist party, which in 1996 launched 10-year long insurgency. Along with attacking the Ncell office and towers, the group also exploded bombs at the construction site of the Arun-3 hydropower plant, which is being constructed by an Indian company. The Chand-led Maoist party used this issue as an excuse to show their strength.
On February 6, Nepal’s Supreme Court had ordered Ncell and its parent company Axiatia to pay a tax bill of 61 billion Nepali rupees (roughly $550 million), excluding late fees and fines. The party said that they had no intention of attacking the general public and apologized for the death of a civilian. The party leaders said that they had attacked the Ncell office to punish the company for not paying taxes to Nepal’s government. Two days after the blast, leaders of the Communist Party of Nepal, helmed by Netra Bikram Chand, telephoned correspondents of major media outlets to take the responsibility for the blast. On the same day, bombs were planted targeting more than a dozen towers of Ncell, a multinational telecommunications company.
