Kathmandu Metropolitan City (KMC) Police chief Rajunath Pandey has been suspended.
On Tuesday, KMC’s Chief Administrative Officer Saroj Guragain suspended Pandey and appointed Deputy Superintendent of Police Bishnu Joshi as the chief of KMC Police for six months.
"He was suspended as no satisfactory response was received," Guragain said. "The new responsibility has been assigned to Bishnu Joshi."
On May 20, Guragain had sought clarification from Pandey alleging that he had created a disturbance while Guragain was heading to his office on April 3. On Monday, Pandey submitted his clarification, saying he had only performed his duty.
