The Commission for Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA), in a statement on Friday, has denied a daily’s news report on Thursday, which said Maoist leader Ram Bahadur Thapa alias Badal had bank account(s) in Singapore.
The CIAA statement, without mentioning the name of Badal, said, the Commission’s “serious attention has been drawn towards the news reports which is totally baseless.”
The news report had quoted unnamed CIAA sources. “We urge all not to publish sensitive news items without consulting the Commission,” the statement said.
Space Time, a vernacular daily, had said that Maoist leader Ram Bahadur Thapa alias Badal has bank account(s) in Singapore.
