<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\nBanking Khabar \/<\/strong> Investigation into Deuba and his relatives over money laundering allegations intensifies. The government has intensified a high-profile money laundering investigation involving three former prime ministers\u2014Sher Bahadur Deuba, KP Sharma Oli, and Pushpa Kamal Dahal\u2014along with former ministers Arzu Rana Deuba and Deepak Khadka and their family members. The probe has entered a critical phase as authorities widen their scrutiny.<\/p>\nThe Department of Money Laundering Investigation, working in coordination with the Central Investigation Bureau, is leading the inquiry. Former minister Khadka was arrested on Sunday, and the Kathmandu District Court has granted investigators seven days to keep him in custody for questioning.<\/p>\n
Separately, KP Sharma Oli and former home minister Ramesh Lekhak are also under investigation for alleged offences related to the suppression of protests held on September 8\u20139. The court has remanded both to five days in custody, while the financial crime probe against Oli continues simultaneously. Dahal, too, remains under investigation.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Sher Bahadur Deuba and his family are currently abroad, reportedly in Hong Kong after travelling through Singapore. Family sources say the visit is for medical treatment, with Deuba scheduled for a follow-up and Arzu Rana Deuba undergoing care after being advised to have knee surgery.<\/p>\n
Despite their absence, officials say the investigation will proceed without interruption. Authorities have stated that legal processes will continue regardless of the location of those under scrutiny.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
