Government Forms Committee to Investigate Seized Electric Vehicles

Kathmandu. The government has formed a committee to conduct a detailed investigation into 779 electric vehicles seized from various locations on suspicion of revenue evasion by the Armed Police Force, Nepal.

A joint investigation committee comprising representatives from the Ministry of Finance, Customs Department, Nepal Police, and Armed Police Force was formed on Thursday under the special directive of the Prime Minister's Office.

According to Prime Minister Balendra Shah's Press and Research Expert Deepa Dahal, the government is conscious of good governance and revenue protection, hence the committee was immediately formed and legal proceedings have been initiated. She informed that the committee has already started a swift investigation by reaching the spot where the vehicles were seized.

Expert Dahal said, 'As the number of vehicles is large, it may take some time to conduct a detailed study and verification of all legal documents related to revenue and customs. We request everyone to be patient and assured until the investigation is completed.' She clarified that the government is committed to strengthening the country's economy and law enforcement.
