The special court has convicted five people, including the then Chief Administrative Officer, an accountant and an engineer, for corruption during the construction of a road in Hanspur Municipality, Dhanusha. The court has acquitted four people, including Deputy Chief Renu Devi Jha, who were accused in the same case.
The verdict was delivered by a bench of special court chairman Sudarshan Dev Bhatt and members Hemant Rawal and Dilli Ratna Shrestha. The court has found Engineer Dinesh Kumar Mandal and Sub-Engineer Binod Mandal guilty of submitting a false report and has sentenced them to three months in prison and a fine of Rs 10,000 each.
Similarly, Chief Administrative Officer Ram Lochan Mandal, Accountant Netra Lungeli and Construction Entrepreneur (Proprietor of Dev Construction) Shubhachandra Mandal have been sentenced to four months in prison.
The court has decided that Damashahi will recover the overpaid amount of Rs 781,818 from all three (Ram Lochan, Netra and Shubhachandra). In addition, an additional 4 percent amount will have to be paid as compensation.
The court has acquitted the accused in the same case, Deputy Mayor of the municipality Renu Devi Jha, then Chief Administrative Officer Keshav Kumar Adhikari, Administration Branch Chief Gyan Kumar Jha and Buyer Shatrughan Saha. The court has held that there is no objective evidence to prove bad faith in their case.
An agreement was signed between the municipality and Dev Construction on Ashad 17, 2077 for the construction of a PCC slope on the road from Suga Nikas to Katti in Hanspur Municipality.
The Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority had filed a case alleging that the payment of Rs 781,818 was made more than the work actually done in the project.
