The district administration office has refused to publish the report of the committee formed to investigate the illegal activities in the Siraha jail with the connivance of the police administration.

After the news was published in the media about the illegal activities in the prison, the District Security Committee led by the Chief District Officer, on the instructions of the Prison Management Department, formed an inquiry committee to investigate the incident on October 25. The committee has also submitted the investigation report.

Nepal Police DSP Bishnu Prasad Soti led the five-member investigation committee formed by representatives of the district administration, district police and prison office, although the deadline was only 15 days, the committee took a month and a half to submit a 90-page report on December 4. According to the coordinator of the

investigation committee, DSP Soti, it took more time because of the deep and subtle investigation. He said that the report has been prepared by observing the prison, studying the existing conditions, physical structure and security system, studying the administrative system, discussing with the prisoners, studying the policy rules and guidelines.

According to another government official involved in the investigation and investigation of this incident, in the report, it is suggested that legal action should be taken against the prisoners and the government employees who run the internal administration of the prison . However, even though it has been more than a month since the committee submitted its report to the district administration office, it has been kept secret until now.

due to which no one involved in it has been able to come under the scope of legal action . After the incident was publicized, the government agencies, which were avoiding it by showing that the investigation committee was investigating, are now using the excuse of busyness and are hesitating.

The chief district officer of Siraha, Vasudev Dahal, claims that he could not give time on this matter due to his busy schedule. "The report has come to us, but due to our busy schedule, we have not been able to give it that much time," he told Kantipur, "we will proceed with a decision in coordination with the prison management department." They say that they have not come and how to proceed will be decided only after they come from the district . 'I have learned that the report has reached the district administration, but it has not reached me,' he said, 'after the report comes, I will follow up.' Civil leader of Siraha, Arjun Thaplia says . He alleges that the incident is being covered up as the prison is a source of income for the government officials and the officials from the bottom to the top are involved in it.

'Everything was shocked after the news was published, yet they tried to settle the incident in the name of the investigation committee,' he said, 'now that the report has not been made public and no action has been taken, what makes it clear is that there is a possibility that the guard will be killed if the wave is pulled 

Vijay Mahato and Naike Indrajit Yadav, who are serving prison terms in the case of duty killing, are drinking alcohol inside the prison and using mobile phones. The news was published and broadcast with running scenes . Similarly, it was revealed that drugs and illegal materials are also available in the prison. In addition, issues such as prisoners being allowed to leave after paying money, arbitrary extortion from prisoners in the name of phone, looting of prisoners by opening shops inside the prison, and collection of more than 20 lakhs per month by the watchman and the administration were also brought out.
