Police are questioning three people in connection with an email threat made against 10 people, including the head of the Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority, Prem Kumar Rai, the former Home Minister and the former Inspector General of Police, claiming to be members of the 'Extremist Group of Nepal'.

According to an investigation officer at the Kathmandu District Police Range, the statement of all three is being taken as their roles are suspicious. He said that it would be too early to say anything about it right now.

Last Wednesday, the Kathmandu Valley Police Office had written to the Kathmandu, Bhaktapur and Lalitpur Police Offices, stating that threatening emails were sent to 10 high-ranking officials, directing them to investigate further and to increase surveillance of the residences and activities of the people concerned. According to security sources, threatening emails were received by people including Durga Prasai, the coordinator of the Nation, Nationality, Religion and Culture Campaign, Lokman Singh Karki, former chief of the Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority, and Gopal Khadka, former chief of the Oil Corporation. According to the police, although the person using the name 'Prakash Pathak' sent the email, the police have not reached a legal conclusion as to where it was sent from. After receiving information that the person has a criminal background, the police have estimated that the email may have been sent using a VPN. The police's Cyber ​​Bureau is also investigating the incident further.
