Accused in the fake Bhutanese refugee case will be investigated:Narayan Kaji Shrestha
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Home Affairs, Narayan Kaji Shrestha, has said all those accused and suspected in the fake Bhutanese refugee scandal will be investigated.
Receiving a memorandum by a delegation of the CPN (UML)-aligned Youth Association Nepal today, the Deputy Prime Minister said Nepali people are ashamed of the scam. “A journey towards prosperity will remain obstructed until a nexus of corruption and commission is dismantled,” the Deputy Prime Minister said.
“The scam has posed a challenge to a journey towards good governance, the pre-condition for prosperity,” he said adding that he has directed the Nepal Police to carry out and conclude investigations into the scam, unaffected by possible political pressure and unwanted influence.
Thirty people, including the former Home Minister, now face charges of crime against the State over their alleged roles in the scam. The case was registered by the Nepal Police on Wednesday.
