The issue of acquitting the then Law Minister of Koshi Province, Leelaballab Adhikari, who took the three youths to Japan by making identity cards in collusion with the human trafficking gang, has become not only a power struggle, but also a human rights issue.

The incident has become controversial after the public prosecutor's office decided to prosecute 11 youths, including 3 people who went with the then Minister Adhikari of Koshi Province and 8 people who were planning to send him, and to acquit the official.

The National Human Rights Commission has also started an investigation on this matter. So far, according to public information, the officer is a member of a human trafficking gang, victims of young people who took the wrong path in an attempt to get to Japan. But those young people are facing the case, the official has been released from the public prosecutor's office. An investigation by the Human Rights Commission can help to unravel this seemingly contradictory view.

Kanchan Devkota of Rasuwa and Dawa Sherpa and Janak Rai of Khotang flew to Japan on October 13 under the leadership of the then Minister Adhikari in the plan of the gang. The police investigation revealed that the gang charged Rs 10 lakh each from Devkota and Rai and Rs 11 lakh 55 thousand from Sherpa and also forged documents to send them to Japan.

Before flying to Japan, the human smuggling attempt seems to have proceeded in a planned manner because the officials even took photos with the people of the gang who collected money in the vicinity of Tribhuvan Airport.

After being returned to Nepal from Japan, eight more people were arrested from the statement of three youths who were arrested. However, the officer escaped from the airport with normal documents. But after the incident began to be discussed, he resigned on moral grounds and was arrested on October 25. In the

investigation, the police found details confirming his involvement in human trafficking and submitted a report for prosecution. But the Kathmandu Public Prosecutor's Office has registered a case against 11 people other than the officer. Which is being criticized everywhere.

After the public prosecutor, who is under the direct authority of the government, acquitted the official and tried the case against the victimized youth, the understanding of the rulers towards good governance has been seen to be weak, it is also clear that human rights and the rule of law have been put on hold. This is a very sensitive issue.

which was falling out of discussion. However, after the Human Rights Commission accepted the complaint received and said that the case is serious, it gave instructions on Wednesday to provide the relevant documents including the prosecution decision from the public prosecutor's office. Now, it is not only the public prosecutor's office that makes weak decisions as a sign of power, but also the ethics of the government have been questioned. That is the purpose of the commission's investigation. 

This kind of scene where the youth of the country is planned to be smuggled abroad by the minister in collusion with the gang is hardly seen in other countries. But when all standards of morality are forgotten, such scenes become natural. However, people who abuse the position are everywhere.

When convicted after a court trial, a message is sent to the concerned person and the rest of the society by giving the punishment according to the law. The same was necessary in this case. But in the meantime, the public prosecutor's office has interrupted the process. It has been confirmed that the government attorney's office has legitimized the additional protection received by the right of power, but doubt has been created on the sovereignty of that office's own discretionary exercise. 

In Nepal, it has been established that no matter what kind of crime a political person is involved in, no action will be taken. Many cases of people who have been acquitted after committing crimes and joining politics or remaining in politics have been acquitted.
