Commission of Inquiry spokesperson Vigyanraj Sharma said that the commission has received Oli's statement and a decision will now be taken on the location.
The then Prime Minister and UML Chairman KP Sharma Oli has given his statement to the Commission of Inquiry formed to investigate the incidents of 23 and 24 Bhadra.
The spokesperson of the Commission of Inquiry, Vigyanraj Sharma, said that Oli's statement has been received by the commission and a decision will be taken on the venue.
'The commission team had written a letter to him asking him to be present to give a statement. As soon as he received the letter, he has sent his statement in writing,' a member of the commission said, 'We are in the process of studying his statement regarding the incidents of the 23rd and 24th.'
Spokesperson Sharma also admitted that the commission team had returned with Oli's statement. Today, the National Human Rights Commission has summoned Oli and questioned him.
Earlier, former Prime Minister Oli had gone to Singha Durbar to raise questions about the Commission of Inquiry and said that he would not give a statement. The Commission, however, was adamant that it would take a statement anyway.
The commission had sent a signal that it would accept the statement even if it was submitted in writing, in a middle way between the stances of both sides. Oli also sent a reply that he was ready to submit it in writing. After that, the commission team arrived on Sunday with a letter.
The commission formed according to the Commission of Inquiry Act 2026 has been given the main responsibility of identifying the causes of the incidents of 23 and 24 Bhadra (violence, vandalism, looting, arson) and recommending action after the investigation. The commission has also been asked to suggest measures to prevent such incidents from recurring. During the investigation, the act gives the power to summon any person before the commission and take a statement, examine evidence, examine evidence from any government or public office or court if necessary, and order any person to submit documents or details. The commission can also recommend action against those who do not provide the requested details or refuse to do so. The commission also has the power to impose a fine of five hundred rupees in case of contempt.
