Chief Commissioner Prem Kumar Rai Linked to Multiple Corruption Scandals

Kathmandu. Chief Commissioner of the Commission for Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA) Prem Kumar Rai has been avoiding facing judicial proceedings despite being implicated in various cases. Chief Commissioner Prem Kumar Rai's name has been linked to the wide-body aircraft case, the Nepal Oil Corporation land case, the Bhairahawa airport land case, and the fake Bhutanese refugee case.

His name became associated with these cases due to various decisions made when he was the secretary of the Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation and the Ministry of Home Affairs. The CIAA filed a corruption case in the Special Court based on a decision he made while he was secretary, but coincidentally, the CIAA, which he now leads, has overlooked the decision made by him in his capacity as the then secretary.
