Nepal Police Orders Volleyball Player Poonam Chand to Report Within Seven Days

May 25, Kathmandu – The Nepal Police have directed Poonam Chand, a player of the Nepal National Women’s Volleyball Team and Nepal Police Club, to appear at the police office within seven days. The Nepal Police Headquarters issued a notice on Jestha 11, 2083 (May 24, 2026), instructing Poonam Chand and others who have been absent without leave to clarify their absence and present themselves with a satisfactory explanation.
According to the police office, Police Constable Poonam Chand has been absent since Chaitra 15, 2082 (March 29, 2026). Despite attempts to contact her and the completion of procedures including posting the notice following Rule 115 (2) of the Police Regulations 2071 (amended), she has not responded, prompting the order for her to report within seven days.
Although the Nepal Volleyball Association included Poonam in the closed training camp for the Kathmandu Women’s Volleyball Championship, she traveled to Australia shortly thereafter. Currently, the Nepalese women’s team is competing on home court in the Kathmandu Women’s Volleyball Championship, but Poonam Chand is not part of the squad.
