Corruption Case Filed Against Former Head of Water Supply Department Kishori Prasad Yadav Involving NPR 15 Million

The Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA) has filed a corruption case against Kishori Prasad Yadav, the former head of the Water Supply Department, accusing him of misappropriating NPR 15 million. According to the commission, from Asar 31, 2047 to Poush 9, 2080 BS, an excess of NPR 14.6 million in income and expenditure was found without proper source verification. The commission has also demanded the confiscation of properties registered in the name of Yadav’s wife, Nirmala Kumari, along with imprisonment.

The CIAA filed the case against Kishori Prasad Yadav, who served as the acting chief of the Water Supply and Sanitation Division Office in Kalaiya. The investigation covering his tenure from Asar 31, 2047 to Poush 9, 2080 BS revealed that Yadav possesses assets with no verifiable sources.

As per the CIAA, Yadav’s lawful income totals NPR 34,621,000. During the investigation period, expenditures by him and his family members were observed on land purchases, house construction, share acquisitions, vehicle purchases, educational expenses, and other areas. The total expenditures exceeded the declared income by NPR 14,681,225.90, figures which were publicized by the commission.

The commission further stated that the illegally acquired assets are also registered under the name of Yadav’s wife, Nirmala Kumari. Consequently, they have sought property confiscation, fines, and imprisonment. It has also been noted that additional investigations related to other matters against him are ongoing.
