Questions have been raised about Home Minister Sudhan Gurung after details of his business partnership with businessman Deepak Bhatt, who is being investigated for money laundering. Although investing in share trading is not illegal, doubts have been raised about the source of the investment and his wealth details.

Gurung, who emerged after the Gen-G movement under the leadership of a non-profit organization called 'Hami Nepal' and came to power through elections and headed one of the important ministries of the government, the Home Ministry, has not yet been made public. However, the details of banking transactions obtained by Kantipur from the investigative agency have raised many questions about his transactions. Based on the documents received, we have presented the facts we know about Sudhan Gurung's assets, investments and transactions and the details we do not know.

What do we know?
1. It appears that the non-profit organization 'Hami Nepal', headed by Sudhan, has accounts in both Himalaya Bank and Nabil Bank. Himalayan Bank account No. 006XXXXXX18 appears to have been closed on February 2025. Before the account was closed, Rs 5.348 million was deposited in it. It appears that Rs 3.094 million was transferred from this account to 'Hami Nepal's' account in Nabil Bank.

Similarly, 'Hami Nepal's' account No. 015XXXXXX74 in Nabil Bank was found to have deposited Rs 2.28 million from July 2021 to August 2025. In which Manita Devkota sent Rs 440 thousand in May and July 2015. We do not have the public identity of Manita Devkota .

Sudhan Gurung's personal account (number 311XXXXXX69) at Nabil Bank appears to have received around 6 million in May-June 2021. This amount appears to have been made available from various sources for COVID-19 relief. On August 5, 2021, 2.5 million was transferred from Sudhan's personal account to the account of Hami Nepal at Nabil Bank. This fact confirms that Sudhan is receiving the relief money in his personal account.

It has been found that different people have deposited lakhs of rupees in Sudhan's account at Nabil Bank at different times on different dates. Some of them mention 'return of collateral' in the source details, while in many other transactions, the source is not disclosed. On May 9, 2023, a person named Chang Agrawa Law was found to have deposited Rs 2.25 million in Gurung's account and on the same date, Rs 3.75 million in the name of Vijay Kumar Shrestha . On May 10, 2023, Rs 2.5 million was deposited in the account of Liberty Micro Life Insurance from Sudhan's personal account and on the same date, Rs 2.5 million was deposited in the account of Star Micro Insurance. Sudhan's 25,000 shares in both these microinsurance companies are in the records of the Companies Registrar's Office. Sudhan is currently embroiled in a dispute over this matter. On June 7, 2023, Rs 1.1 million was paid from the same account of Sudhan to the account of Bijesh Kumar Magar

. On October 13, 2023, Tshiring Chombel Gurung deposited Rs 2.5 million in Sudhan's account. The source of which is said to be loan repayment. On October 17, 2023, it is seen that Rs 2 million was deposited in Sudhan's account. On April 20 and 25, 2024, Rs 1 million and Rs 1.25 million were deposited in his account in the name of Sanjay Services Center Pvt. Ltd., respectively. In which the source of one transaction is said to be loan repayment and the other is business.

When examining the mentioned details, it is seen that Rs 6 million was deposited in Gurung's account from Chang Agrawal and Vijay Kumar Shrestha. Chang Agrawal is the owner of companies including Get Ahead Trading Pvt. Ltd., SRS Investment Pvt. Ltd. and Winner Liquor Industry Pvt. Ltd. He is also the former president of the Confederation of Nepalese Industries Youth Council. The investigating agency claims that the amount deposited in Sudhan's account by Agrawal and Shrestha was used to buy shares of a microinsurance company. But it is not clear who Vijay Kumar Shrestha is who deposited 3.75 million in Sudhan's account. After a dispute started over the source of the money to buy shares of Liberty Micro Life Insurance and Star Micro Insurance, Home Minister Gurung has claimed that he took a loan and purchased the shares. It seems that Gurung took a loan of 3.75 million from a person of the same name (Vijay Kumar Shrestha) on 21st July 2080 and applied to Kathmandu Metropolitan City Ward No. 5 to certify the Kapali Tamsuk deed of the loan transaction. But since the detailed details of the person who sent the money to Sudhan's account are not disclosed, even though the names match, it cannot be said that these two people are the same.

It seems that about 2.5 million Chhiring Chombel was deposited from Gurung's Nabil Bank account to Sudhan's account. This amount was deposited in cash by Sushil Kumar Shrestha

and

Suresh Kumar Yadav
. Both of these individuals are under close surveillance by investigative agencies for transacting more than the limit. Gurung also appears to have had some transactions with Sanjay Services Center Pvt. Ltd., and it is revealed that he has deposited some amount in the account of Lagum Premium Apartment Pvt. Ltd. Similarly, Sudhan is also confirmed to have an account with Lakshmi Sunrise Bank. Account No. 010XXXXXX01 has deposited Rs. 1.7 crore from July 11, 2021 to September 15, 2025. It appears that about Rs. 4 million has been deposited in the account in the name of Anjal Manandhar. These details of banking transactions show that Sudhan has been transacting large amounts of money with various people. But the source and detailed details of such transactions are not disclosed in most of them. Which businesses are owned by Sudhan?

Sudhan himself has disclosed his investments in three companies, namely Adventure Villa Pvt. Ltd., Lagoom Premium Apartments Pvt. Ltd. and Hope Holdings Pvt. Ltd. In his public asset statement, he has also mentioned the names of all three companies.

1)

Adventure Villa Pvt. Ltd.:
Established on June 22, 2016, this company has an account number 035XXXXXX18 in Lakshmi Sunrise Bank Limited. It appears that Rs 1.13 crore was deposited in this account from August 2017 to August 2021. After that, no transactions have been made in this account.

2) Lagoom Premium Apartments Pvt. Ltd.: This company has an account (No. 040XXXXXX17) in Prabhu Bank. It appears that the company purchased a vehicle from Paramount Motors in the name of the company. It is seen in the documents received by Kantipur that around 19 lakhs were taken in cash and 25 lakhs in loans while making this purchase. From 1 January 2025 to 15 September 2025, it is revealed that Lagum's turnover was more than 57 lakhs. Of the total amount in the account, only 239 thousand rupees have been found by the investigating agency from booking websites and the rest from various individuals. We could not find out who those individuals are.

3) Hope Holdings Pvt Ltd : This company has an account (No. 001XXXXXX13) in Prabhu Bank. From December 2024 to May 2025, it is seen that 1 crore 19 lakhs were deposited in this account. From the details received by Kantipur, it is revealed that there were many transactions between Lagum Premium Apartments, Sudhan Gurung and Hope Holding from this account. It seems that the non-profit organization 'Hami Nepal' once deposited about 450,000 rupees in the account of this company. But the reason for that is not disclosed.

Looking at the transactions in Sudhan's personal account, government research shows that he often spends money at places like cafes, restaurants, clubs, and cinemas. But we do not have details of how much money he has spent. It seems that between 2023 and 2024, millions of rupees have been received in Sudhan's account from various individuals and organizations. According to which, Penchu ​​Dolma Tamang has sent 385,000 rupees on April 19, 2023, 390,000 on April 25, 250,000 on May 6, 2023, 200,000 on May 16, about 400,000 on May 18, 400,000 on October 23, 2024, and about 400,000 on October 29, 2024, totaling 2425,000 rupees. According to the details received by Kantipur, Penchu ​​Dolma Tamang is a student of IEC College of Art and Fashion, Bishalnagar. The questions raised by Sudhan's business transactions seem to be interrelated with each other. But we could not confirm the purpose and meaning of sending money from a non-profit organization to his personal account. Similarly, the source or purpose of the amount deposited in his personal account is not mentioned in the transaction. Which has raised doubts about his business. The deposit of aid money in his personal account during COVID-19 also seems suspicious. Although he claimed to have taken a loan while purchasing shares of Liberty Micro Life Insurance and Star Micro Insurance, it seems that Rs 6 million was received in his personal account from Chang Agarwal and Vijay Kumar Shrestha just a day before the share purchase. But we could not reveal the reason for this or what kind of professional or personal relationship Sudhan had with them . 

It seems that Sudhan's bank account was repeatedly deposited by Sushil Kumar Shrestha and Suresh Kumar Yadav, who are under close surveillance by the investigating agency . But we could not reveal what Sudhan's relationship is with these two people and what kind of business it is . 

In the last two days, Home Minister Gurung has been facing a lot of questions from within and outside the party . He has tried to clarify by writing a status on social media twice, but the questions raised about him and his business remain . 

(Kantipur has not mentioned the detailed number of the personal account to maintain personal privacy . )
