KATHMANDU, APRIL 15
The Supreme Court has directed the Department of Revenue Investigation to submit the investigation file related to former minister and Nepali Congress leader Dipak Khadka.
Khadka has been arrested on charges of money laundering.
A division bench of Justices Til Prasad Shrestha and Shanti Singh Thapa issued the order on Wednesday in response to a habeas corpus petition filed by Khadka's spouse, Binita Thapa.
The court has instructed the Department of Revenue Investigation to present the investigation documents along with a written response by midday on Thursday.
The Department is currently probing Khadka's assets as part of the case.
Earlier, on Monday, the Department had obtained permission to keep Khadka in custody for three days for investigation purposes. Prior to that, the Central Investigation Bureau of Nepal Police had arrested Khadka on March 29 in connection with the same case.
