KATHMANDU: The Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA) has submitted an appeal to the Supreme Court against the Special Court's decision to acquit an individual accused of accepting bribes.
In May of this year, the Special Court cleared Gajendra Singh Bhandari, the police station chief in Khadaiya, Banke, of charges.
According to CIAA spokesperson Narahari Ghimire, the CIAA is dissatisfied with the acquittal and has filed an appeal. Bhandari was caught red-handed by the CIAA while accepting a bribe.
Additionally, the CIAA has also appealed the Special Court's decision in the case of Harichandra Bhusal, who was arrested with bribe money.
In May, the court ruled that Bhusal and others were acquitted, even though it acknowledged the illegal bribe-taking by the defendant and convicted Sumankant Thakur.
Dissatisfied with the reasoning for the acquittals, the CIAA took the case to the Supreme Court on Friday.
