RSP launches probe into controversial audio involving lawmaker Khagendra Sunar

KATHMANDU: The ruling Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) has launched an internal investigation into controversial audio recordings involving its lawmaker Khagendra Sunar following allegations of misconduct.

RSP General Secretary Bipin Kumar Acharya said the party’s Central Disciplinary Commission had been directed to begin an immediate investigation to establish the facts surrounding the audio recordings made public through the media.

Sunar has also been instructed not to participate in any official programmes in his capacity as a public representative until the investigation is completed. The party said the measure was intended to prevent any interference with the inquiry and uphold the standards of public office.

The party said it had taken serious note of the audio recordings involving Sunar, an elected member of the House of Representatives, and the serious concerns they had raised.
