Armed Police Force (APF) Additional Inspector General Banshi Raj Dahal has been dismissed from service over alleged misconduct involving the leakage of sensitive security information.
Home Ministry spokesperson Anand Kafle confirmed that Dahal had been dismissed through departmental action.
According to a statement issued by the ministry, the dismissal takes effect from Friday.
