KATHMANDU – Medical entrepreneur Durga Prasai, arrested for allegedly spreading false propaganda against Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli, has been taken to the Cyber Bureau in Bhotahiti for further investigation.

Prasai was apprehended on Tuesday from his residence in Nikosera, Madhyapur Thimi Municipality-6. After undergoing a health check-up at Sri Harsha Hospital, he was transferred to the Cyber Bureau for questioning.

Accusations of Document Forgery and Misinformation

According to Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) Spokesperson Hobindra Bogati, Prasai is being investigated for allegedly forging documents tied to Prime Minister Oli and disseminating misleading information.

During a press conference on Monday, Prasai claimed that the Prime Minister had invested Rs 3.2 billion in a telecom company in Cambodia and presented documents to substantiate his claims. However, the authenticity of these documents has not been verified.

The UML party and associates of Prime Minister Oli have rejected the accusations, stating that the documents are fabricated. The investigation seeks to confirm the validity of the claims and uncover any wrongdoing.

Prasai’s arrest underscores Nepal’s commitment to tackling cyber-related offenses and addressing the spread of misinformation.
