The agitators scattered petrol and put aflame the taxi (Ba 1 Ja 1877) of Niraj Baniya, a local of Hetauda, while he was returning to Lalitpur after dropping his relative at the Tribhuvan International Airport.
Two unidentified demonstrators had stopped the taxi and put it on fire with petrol at 5.15 this morning.
After a big damage to his vehicle, taxi driver Baniya said he was worrying how to eke out livelihood of his family as it was the only source of income.
