Kathmandu Police Confirm Ongoing Investigation Against Oli and Lekhak

April 14, Kathmandu – The Kathmandu District Police Office has urged the public to refrain from creating, broadcasting, or publishing misleading and unverified information related to registered cases and ongoing investigations. Police Deputy Superintendent Pawan Kumar Bhattarai, spokesperson for the office, stated that investigations are underway into registered homicide cases involving former Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli and former Home Minister Ramesh Lekhak, following the Supreme Court’s directive and instructions from the District Government Attorney Office, Kathmandu. He emphasized that both individuals have been released on bail and the investigation is ongoing; therefore, misleading information should not be circulated.

In a statement issued today, DSP Bhattarai drew attention to opinions and information shared via audiovisual content on a YouTube channel. “Since the investigation is independent, lawful, and conducted under the legal guidance of the Government Attorney Office, Kathmandu, spreading irresponsible and misleading information attributed to the responsible police officials risks creating public misinformation. Therefore, all concerned are sincerely requested to refrain from generating or disseminating misleading and unverified information,” the statement read.
