KATHMANDU: Police have initiated an investigation against a man who allegedly threatened to kill officials, including the Chief Commissioner of the Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA), by filing six separate cases against him.

According to District Police Range Kathmandu spokesperson SP Pawan Kumar Bhattarai, the accused has been identified as 34-year-old Prakash Pathak of Temal Rural Municipality-1, Kavrepalanchok, who had been residing in the Philippines.
