The government has suspended Dharanidhar Khatiwada, chief district officer (CDO) of southern terai district of Parsa, for his alleged misconduct at public places.

The government has also set up a committee led by regional administrator Kumar Poudel to probe into the incident.

The action against Khatiwada came after Kantipur Television, a private sector TV channel, showed Khatiwada consuming alcohol and misbehaving with people.

Birgunj—a major industrial and trade center of Nepal bordering India—is the headquarter of Parsa district.
