Special Court verdict on Khadka's case challenged

the CIAA today filed a case at the Supreme Court challenging the Special Court’s decision to acquit former minister Khum Bahadur Khadka of corruption charges.

The CIAA in its appeal expressed dissatisfaction over Special Court’s decision to clear Khadka of corruption charges and demanded that the apex court review that verdict.

After a prolonged trial, the Special Court had in November last year acquitted Khadka of embezzlement of Rs 23.6 million.
