Notice (8): Undefined index: caption [APP/View/Articles/view.ctp, line 241]

December 10: The Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA) has filed a corruption case against former section officer of finance ministry, Uddav Thapaliya, accusing him of amassing over Rs 15 million through illegal means.

The CIAA filed the case against the retired officer at the Special Court charging him of amassing the  amount illegally during his 35-year service to the government.

According to the anti-graft body, the detailed study of Thapaliya’s income and expenditure since he started the government job on February 18, 1984 till his retirement on April 13, 2019 could only establish the source of income amounting to Rs 10.2 million. However, Thapaliya has been found of spending and investing an Rs 20.67 million during the review period, out of which the source of income of Rs 16.4 million is unknown. The CIAA decided to file the corruption case against Thapaliya after this source of income could not be verified. The anti-graft body has sought a bail amount equal to the money he amassed through unconfirmed sources.

The CIAA has also sought to freeze his properties including land, house and bank account whose source is not confirmed.

The CIAA has also filed a case against his wife Muna Panta Thapaliya for abetting the crime.
