The Special Court has granted permission for former Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Bishnu Prasad Poudel to be investigated while held in custody for an additional three days. This is related to a money laundering case against him.
On Monday, a bench of Special Court judges, including Narayan Prasad Poudel, Hemant Rawal, and Umesh Koirala, gave this approval. They authorized the Department of Money Laundering Investigation to keep ex-Finance Minister Poudel for three more days to continue their investigation.
Previously, the Special Court had permitted a investigation by holding Vice-Chairman Poudel in custody for seven days for the same money laundering issue. The court order stated, “Accused Bishnu Prasad Poudel, who was arrested during an investigation into a money laundering case, was presented by the Department of Money Laundering Investigation for an extension of his remand. Today marks the second time a three-day extension has been granted for the purpose of investigation.”
Poudel, who also serves as a Vice-Chairman of CPN (UML), was arrested from Surkhet on Asar 8. He was then brought to Kathmandu and presented before the court. Currently, he is in judicial custody for investigation.
