Yes, he is guilty.

Few things he had to take responsibility:

1. He is the shop owner. What happens inside his shop
he should take responsibility.

2. He sold alcohol that is not paid domestic tax. If imported,
then, it was not cleared duty. Because, according Nepali
Govt. rule you can not sell locally made alcohol. It is
illegal to make alcohol and sell it.

3. Five peoples died. Its not small mistake. He should knew
what he brought and who are his consumer. If it was in
other countries he might have faced death sentence for the
negligence, but, he got only life prison. I heard life prison in
Nepal, is 20years maximum and after that he will be released.

Court has done good job by teaching the illegal alcohol
shop keepers. In India, someone can not even walk with
alcohol bottles in broad day lights, police can fine and
sometime jailed for drinking or possesing alcohol. There
are strict licensed alcohol shops to sell the alcohol even in
his country, so this person knew the alcohol and its
misuse. His activities are not execusable, he was misusing
the absent of law enforcing officers around him.

Do you think he's guilty of poisoning these people knowingly, or do you think that accidentally the alcohol he was selling happened to be lethal because of some error on his part?

I think these two cases are different. If he had knowingly poisoned the alcohol, then he deserves a harsher punishment, than if this was the result of an accident.

Do you think he poisoned his product on purpose or do you think it was an accident?

Hahoo Guru, I'm not sure about whom you're talking about.

Like Nhuchhe said poisioning on purpose or accidentally are two different cases.

Is it really? Since when? As far as I know there are lots of local bhattis who sell tharra. Every evening lots of policemen, Army men and high leve Govt. officer come there and drink freely. It's opened freely. I never knew that it's illegal.

What Nepal have to do something that other country does. We have our own culture, tradtion, etc. etc. I'm not supporting for alchol selling but my point is let's not compare with some other country or nation. Something could be part of our culture which is illegal in Japan, US or even India.

For example, Casino, night clubs with Prostitution legal in Berlin. Does that mean we should do that way too. You will hardly see some meat shops in South India like Madras or Banglore, do you want same way in Nepal?

The point is we do live in our way and we should make law appropriate to us. Govt., police man, Govt. officers, all powerful people have to follow the rules and laws like other normal people. Law and order must be in place first to get out of all this both political and social chaos in Nepal.

Kanon anusar satya ho tara. who cares? kasle enforce garne
tyo law lai. Nepal ko law is looking for enforcers. Its like
driving high speed cars in Japan. In each road (outside
express highway) allowable speed limit is just 50km/hr,
but, who drives below 50km/hr when there is no
cross check? Its true that we have to good citizen,
but, there should be cross check to inform public
that do not cross the limit. You know in Finland,
the fine for Overspeed is according to your salary,
higher the salary, higher the punishment, but, in
Nepal, punishment is inversly propertional to your
income level. Thats fact.
