Karki-led panel submits report, recommends action against those responsible

KATHMANDU: A commission formed to investigate the incidents of September 8 and 9 has submitted a 1,000-page report to Prime Minister Sushila Karki.

Commission chairperson, former judge Gauri Bahadur Karki, submitted the report to Prime Minister Sushila Karki on Sunday.

Former Nepal Police AIG Bigyan Raj Sharma and legal expert Bishweshwar Prasad Bhandari were the other members of the commission.

After submitting the report, Commission member Sharma said around 200 people were questioned during the investigation, and expert opinions were also taken into account. “We have recommended action against those found responsible,” he added.

Commission chair Karki also said the panel had carried out its work with honesty and included in the report whatever it found, without any prejudice. He added that the report also includes recommendations aimed at preventing such incidents in the future. “This incident occurred due to poor governance. Regulatory bodies have been distorted. There are delays across the judiciary and the executive. The tendency to make even judicial and constitutional appointments based on party quotas has increased public anger,” he said. “If this report is implemented, the face of the country could change.”

Similarly, Sharma said the document is primarily an investigative report and that the bodies responsible for taking action will now need to conduct further inquiries. He noted that the report has laid the groundwork for such investigations.

Another member, Bishweshwar Bhandari, said that if the recommendations outlined in the report—particularly those related to good governance—are implemented, the country’s situation could change significantly.
