Man Arrested for Allegedly Threatening Chief Commissioner of CIAA and Others with Death
Prakash Pathak has been arrested on charges of issuing death threats to the Chief Commissioner of the Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA) and nine other individuals. The 34-year-old Pathak, originally from Temal Rural Municipality-1, Kavre, and residing in the Philippines, was brought to Nepal following coordination with Interpol.
Police are primarily focusing their investigation on four serious offenses allegedly committed by Pathak: criminal conspiracy, criminal gain (extortion), organized crime prevention, and issuing death threats.
In addition to these main charges, it has been revealed that six other cases were previously registered against Pathak. Separate cases concerning public offenses, fraud, criminal gain, and criminal conspiracy had already been filed against him on various dates.
According to the Kathmandu District Police Range, Pathak claimed to be the chairman of the 'Extremist Group of Nepal' (EGN) and sent emails on October 22, 2025, threatening the CIAA Chief and others with death. Police claim that he attempted to obtain criminal gains (extortion) through these threats and was involved in organized crime.
Police Spokesperson Pawan Kumar Bhattarai informed that an investigation against him began immediately after he was brought back from the Philippines, with the Kathmandu District Court granting a three-day remand on the same day of his arrival.
