Report on Recent Protests Leaked to Media Before Official Release

Kathmandu. The report submitted to the government by the inquiry commission led by former Chief Justice Gaury Bahadur Karki regarding the protests held on Bhadra 23 and 24 has been 'leaked'.

The commission officials submitted the report to Prime Minister Sushila Karki on Falgun 24, after investigating and inquiring about the incident for about 5 months.

Although the government has not officially published the report, it has been widely circulated through the media. Regarding the report being 'leaked' while JNU leaders were demanding its public release, Home Minister Om Prakash Aryal told Ratopati, 'The government has not officially published it.'

Aryal stated that he 'cannot say' about the authenticity of the report as it appeared in the media. He said, 'It came while we were studying it.'

The 898-page report made public includes the commission's findings, conclusions, and recommendations, as well as overall statements. Home Minister Aryal stated that the Council of Ministers decided to study the report and it is currently under review according to that decision.

Questioning the report published in the media, Aryal said, 'The electronic version came, right?' Aryal claimed to Ratopati that the government has not even received the digital version.

He said, 'The government has not received the electronic version at all.' Aryal claimed that the Karki Commission only submitted a written report to the government.
