The Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) of Nepal Police has reopened the file of Lalita Niwas land grab scam. This has renewed hopes that those responsible for the crime will be brought to justice and the government property will be rightfully restored. The incident involves individuals in the position of power and influence transferring the ownership of government land through deceitful means. As the coordinator of the committee formed to study the Lalita Niwas land grab case, I had the opportunity to delve into the details of the incident. As the investigation progressed, it became apparent that the government land had been systematically divided and distributed among individuals as if it were a gift. Certain portions of the land were sold off, while others were registered under the names of individuals who were involved in orchestrating this fraudulent scheme. It is disheartening to witness such a flagrant act committed by individuals who have lost all moral consciousness in their insatiable greed for money. The CIB has diligently carried out an extensive investigation into the case. The findings reveal that out of the total 299 ropanis of land, 14 ropanis and 11 anas of land still remain under the name of the previous owner, Subarna Shamsher. The Nepal government had lawfully acquired 284 ropanis of land from him and compensated him accordingly. All government employees, intermediaries, and any other individuals involved in the unlawful transfer of this land into private ownership must face the consequences of their actions and be held accountable before the court of law. The CIB has unearthed significant evidence in the Lalita Niwas land grab case, indicating that there may be involvement of individuals associated with political parties and their leaders. This has no doubt raised concerns about potential pressure on the police and the court to influence the investigation. Some even suspect that the case could shake the government.But it is crucial for the government to demonstrate unwavering commitment in solving the case and punish the guilty individuals. Immunity should not be granted to those who commit crimes based on their political affiliations. The investigation must proceed impartially and reach a conclusive outcome. Anyone found guilty of illegal acts must face appropriate punishment. I believe the resumption of the investigation, which was previously halted due to political pressure, will be concluded this time. For this, it is essential for the police to be allowed to carry out their work without interference. Similarly, the government attorney's office should operate independently, free from any external pressure or temptation. The investigation reports of both the Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA) and the CIB should be thoroughly examined, discussed, and debated in court. It is evident that the individuals involved in this case knowingly embezzled government land by orchestrating a well-planned scheme to register it under the name of a private individual in exchange for money. Such shameless acts should be condemned, and those involved should never be granted immunity. We kept the matter confidential during the investigation as it provided a conducive environment without undue pressure. Police need to be supported in their efforts to bring this matter to a conclusive resolution. Placing trust in the court system is also essential. Similar to the fake refugee case, this matter must be thoroughly examined in court. Following the court order to send individuals arrested by CIB on a seven-day remand, the case has now entered the court.  Some positive results can be expected.
