GHAIGHAT: A team from Commission for the Investigation Abuse of Authority (CIAA) on Wednesday detained Udayapur district’s Katari Municipality-1 Account Officer allegedly involved in irregularities, from New Baneshwor, Kathmandu.
Acting on the complaint filed by Katari Municipality Mayor Kaji Shrestha, the CIAA team arrested Ravi Chandra Dhakal for taking possession of social security allowance worth Rs 40 million by producing forged documents.
According to Mayor Shrestha, it is yet to work out how much Dhakal has misconducted, since he is also involved in irregularities in Ilam and Solukhumbu districts.
It has been learnt that Officer Dhakal was held while he was on leave and had been staying in Kathmandu with his wife for a week.
