Dan Bahadur Karki has been appointed as the Inspector General of Nepal Police (IGP). The Cabinet meeting held on Monday appointed AIG Karki, the head of the Kathmandu Valley Police Office (Rani Pokhari), as the IGP.
He will take over the post from 27 Kartik. He will retire after 29 months due to his 30-year service.
Karki is the 33rd IGP of the organization. Along with him, AIGs Rajan Adhikari, Manoj KC and Siddhi Bikram Shah were in the competition for the IGP post. Karki, Adhikari and KC were promoted from DIG to AIG on 15 Baisakh 2082. Shah was promoted to AIG last Jestha. Karki, who is number one among them in the ranking, has been promoted to IGP.
The tenure of current IGP Chandrakuber Khapung is ending on Wednesday due to his 30-year service. Khapung, who came to the helm of the police only on 19 Bhadra, is going to retire after serving for only 69 days.
Newly appointed IGP Karki had joined the service as a police inspector on 18 Chaitra 2054. After that, he has led the Area Police, District Police, Province, Human Resource Development Department and currently the Valley Police Chief as DSP, SP, SSP, DIG and AIG. He has experience working as a police spokesperson, Inspector General's Secretariat and in various countries under the United Nations Peacekeeping Mission.
Karki, who served as the Director of Policy and Planning in East Timor from 2002 to 2004 and as the 'Induction Training Team Leader' under the Peacekeeping Mission in Haiti from 2006 to 2008, is considered an expert in criminal investigation, peacekeeping, training and internal administration in the police.
When he was the Kathmandu Police Chief, the much-publicized fake Bhutanese refugee case was investigated and the case reached the court. The case was investigated in coordination with the Kathmandu Valley Crime Investigation Office and the Kathmandu campus, and a case was filed against the former Deputy Prime Minister and a high-profile defendant, including a minister.
Karki will face the challenge of raising the morale of the police force, which had fallen due to the protests of 24 Bhadra. During the protests, 450 police barracks and offices were vandalized and set on fire. More than 1,200 weapons were looted. 76 people, including 3 police officers, lost their lives.
