An alliance supporting Dr Govinda KC has condemned the arrest of nine people who had gone to the office of Commission of Investigation of Abuse of Authority to seek the property details of its chief Lok Man Singh Karki on Wednesday.

The alliance said in a statement on Sunday that every citizen has the right to seek property details of those individuals who hold in public positions.

“Two weeks ago, sixty members from the alliance had sought property details of Karki,” reads the statement. “It’s been two weeks and the CIAA is yet to release the details. The supporters of Dr KC had gone to CIAA to appeal on the case.”

The alliance has also noted that the CIAA had recently taken action against government employees for failing to submit their property details while its chief himself has not done so.

The alliance has said that they will file petition at the National Information Commission demanding the property details of CIAA chief Karki.
