In a shocking turn of events, the Mayor of Dhorpatan Municipality in Baglung, Dev Kumar Nepali, has been accused of fraud and has been missing for the past three months. He stands accused of embezzling a staggering amount of 2 billion from the Image Savings and Credit Cooperatives of which he is a shareholder. The Co-operative savers in Baglung and Pokhara have filed complaints with the authorities, alleging his involvement in the misappropriation of funds.
As the scandal unfolded, the CPN–UML took swift action and suspended Mayor Dev Kumar Nepali from his position. However, rather than facing the allegations, he chose to evade authorities and has been on the run ever since. The immigration department has already issued a stop-travel order against him, further complicating the situation.
Despite mounting evidence and public outcry, Dev Kumar Nepali has managed to remain elusive, leaving concerned authorities and the administration unable to apprehend him. This has caused distress among the local communities, who are left without answers and seeking justice. 1 thousand 543 people have filed a case against Dev Kumar Nepali.
