Kathmandu, June 11
Ramesh Chand Thakuri, a former chief of Nepal Police, has completed his one-year jail term on Thursday. Subsequently, Dillibajaar Prison in Kathmandu released him today.
Earlier in April 2017, the Supreme Court had convicted Thakuri of corruption in connection to the purchase of consignment for Nepal Police personnel mobilised in Sudan as a part of the UN peacekeeping mission. Thakuri and two other former IGPs among others had been convicted.
Thakuri was absconding until July 4 last year when he surrendered to the court and was sent to jail for a year. “But, he had got a waiver for 20 days. Hence, he completed the term today,” the prison’s assistant jailer Sita Adhikari informs.
