Nepal, June 10 -- Just as the anti-graft body filed a corruption case against Nepal Bank's former chairman for taking bribes, a new complaint has emerged about Rs 20 billion going missing from the same bank.

A shareholder has filed a complaint with the Office of the Auditor General, claiming that Rs 20.4 billion vanished from Nepal Bank Limited. This complaint has now been forwarded to the Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA).

The complainant, shareholder Angaraj Bharti, alleged that the amount disappeared under the heading of loans for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) approved in 2018. He urged authorities to investigate the missing funds and punish those responsible.
