The Election Commission (EC) on Sunday asked Secretary at the Office of the Prime Minister and Council of Ministers (OPMCM) Gopinath Mainali to return a vehicle and a mobile set issued to him while he was the secretary at the election governing body.

EC Under Secretary Mahesh Raj Timilsina, writing a letter in the name of OPMCM, has asked the then EC secretary Mainali to return a Land Cruiser SUV (Ba 2 Jha 449), an iPhone 7 plus and a laptop.

Gopinath Mainali was transferred to the Prime Minister’s Office on June 22 following some disputes with Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Ayodhe Prasad Yadav and election commissioners.
