The process of investigating the assets of three former Prime Ministers—Sher Bahadur Deuba, KP Sharma Oli, and Pushpa Kamal Dahal (Prachanda)—has moved forward.
After the Department of Money Laundering Investigation sent a formal communication to the Central Investigation Bureau of Nepal Police, the bureau proceeded with the investigation.
According to the department’s correspondence, Congress leader and former Energy Minister Deepak Khadka has been arrested. The CIB has now intensified its investigation into the assets of the three former prime ministers.
Earlier, during the Janajati movement, reports surfaced that money was found at Deuba’s residence. Following that, officials from the department visited the residence and prepared a site report. Similar site documentation was also conducted at the residences of Prachanda’s daughter Ganga and KP Oli as part of the investigation.
The same investigation has now been accelerated, with the CIB taking the lead after receiving the department’s letter.
