APF School in Kirtipur Faces Investigation for Financial Irregularities

Kathmandu. A complaint has been filed claiming financial irregularities at the Nepal APF School in Kirtipur. Following a complaint that the school's funds were misused by the accounting chief working there, the Armed Police Headquarters has started an investigation into the matter.

A complaint was lodged at the Armed Police Headquarters alleging that the APF School's bank account funds were kept in a personal account. The complainant claims that the school's funds were misused by being kept in a personal account. Inspector Kalpana Gurung is working in the accounts department of APF School.

Netra Bahadur Karki, spokesperson (DIG) for the Armed Police, told Ratopati that an investigation is underway regarding the financial irregularities at APF School. He said, "The Directorate of Law is conducting an internal investigation into the matter."

Preliminary investigations have revealed that the school's funds were transferred to the accounts of unrelated individuals and organizations. According to a high-ranking official of the Armed Police, the headquarters has requested banking transaction details for 4 financial years.

Gurung, who has been working in the accounts department of APF School since she was a Sub-Inspector (SAI), continues to work in the same place even after being promoted to Inspector. It is suspected that some officials at the headquarters have also supported this irregularity. Accountant (DSP) Mahendra Hamal, working in the Welfare Division, is also under investigation in this case. APF School is operated with funds from the welfare budget.

DSP Mahendra Hamal is accused of knowing about the irregularities in the school but keeping it secret without informing the organization. In Mangsir 2082, complaints were also filed with various bodies alleging irregularities in the school's ration management.
