KATHMANDU: Two policemen have been suspended in connection with the leak of a pre-SAT question paper to be sent by the Nepal Police to a UN peacekeeping mission.
According to Police Spokesperson Basanta Kunwar, Constable Kumar Shah and Office Assistant Suresh Bam have been suspended on the recommendation of the Probe Committee.
“Based on the committee’s recommendation, we have now suspended two police officials. Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG) Janak Bahadur Thapa is yet to be suspended. We will also suspend him after completing the process,” Kunwar told Khabarhub.
