Bagmati, Kathmandu, Kathmandu, Ward 10

Around a dozen protesters demanding investigation into the citizenship of Chief Justice Gopal Prasad Parajuli have been arrested from Kathmandu District Administration Office. The protesters had reached the DAO office on Tuesday in support of Dr Govinda KC who had gone to the office to file an application for investigation into the matter. Doctors, students and Bibeksheel Sajha’s Kathmandu Metropolitan City mayoral candidate Ranju Darshana are among the arrestees. Following the contempt of court case against Dr Govinda KC, the Supreme Court (SC) directed to investigate the authenticity of citizenship document and education certificates of Chief Justice Parajuli. Dr KC has charged CJ Parajuli of using forged academic documents, maintaining two citizenship certificates from two places and reducing his age to hold the top Judiciary post, among others. प्रधानन्यायाधिश गोपाल पराजुलीविरुद्ध नारावाजी गर्ने १३ जना पक्राउ परेका छन् । जिल्ला प्रशासन कार्यालय, काठमाडौं अगाडि प्रधानन्यायाधिशविरुद्ध नारावाजी गरेको आरोपमा उनीहरुलाई पक्राउ गरिएको हो । पक्राउ परेकाहरु डा. गोविन्द केसीको समर्थक भएको बताइएको छ । केसीले प्रधानन्यायाधिको नागरिकता कीर्ते रहेको भन्दै छानबिनको माग गरेका थिए । महानगरीय प्रहरी वृत, सिंहदरबारका डिएसपी अपिल बोहोराले उनीहरुलाई पक्राउ गरिएको पुष्टि गरे ।
