Birbal Tamang, chairman of Kispang Rural Municipality in Nuwakot who was in Kathmandu to discuss the problems faced by flood-affected areas with Prime Minister Balen Shah, has been arrested.
A team from the District Police Range, Kathmandu, arrested Tamang on Monday.
Tamang had arrived at Singha Durbar to attend a discussion with PM Shah. He participated in the meeting from 11 a.m. until 2:30 p.m.
Superintendent of Police Dan Bahadur Thapa said that Tamang was arrested by a team from the Durbar Marg Police Circle after he left Singha Durbar following the meeting.
“A banking offense case had apparently been filed against him in court. He was found at Hanumanthan outside Singha Durbar and taken into custody for the purpose of producing him before the court,” Thapa said.
According to SP Thapa, Tamang is also the operator of Oshin Transport and Adventure.
