The gang reached Tashi Goldu Lama´s house at 3:30 p.m. and asked him to produce money and Yarchagumba at gunpoint. As Lama shoved the pistol-bearing hand of a person while trying to free himself from the looters´ hold, the pistol went off and the bullet hit Tamang´s right hand.
Police arrested Tamang as he was stranded with his injuries while others managed to flee. Police have recovered two motorcycles and two cell phone sets from the site.
