The Special Court (SC) Kathmandu has convicted former commissioner at the Commission for Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA) Rajnarayan Pathak in a graft case and sentenced him to jail for three years and three months.

A divisional bench of Special Court Chairperson Shreekanta Poudel and justices, Yamuna Bhattarai and Balbhadra Bastola sentenced Pathak to jail and also penalized him Rs 3.9 million.

The court also sentenced Lambodhar Neupane of Nepal Engineering College to prison for three years and slapped a fine of Rs 3.9 million.

The case came to the spotlight after the disclosure of the fact that former commissioner Pathak took a bribe amounting to over Rs 7 million over a land dispute case involving the Nepal Engineering College.

A graft case was filed against Pathak after he had resigned from the post of commissioner of the anti-graft constitutional body. ---
