Sudan Gurung Returns as Home Minister Amid Controversy

Kathmandu. Sudan Gurung has returned to the Ministry of Home Affairs. He had resigned following allegations of having a business relationship with middleman Deepak Bhatt, acquiring wealth from undisclosed sources, and submitting false details in his property statement.

Following his resignation, an investigation committee was formed under the convenership of former High Court Justice Achyut Prasad Bhandari to investigate the allegations against him. He has been reinstated after the committee submitted its report. However, there is no official information about the contents of the report. Similarly, the Human Rights Commission had also held Gurung guilty in the context of the Jenji movement and subsequent events.
