Kathmandu: The Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA) has filed a corruption case against Chhabilal Kunwar, an Inspector with the Armed Police Force (APF), over allegations of using a fraudulent educational certificate to secure a government job.

Kunwar, who previously served at the APF’s No-29 Battalion Headquarters in Dang, resigned following the initiation of the investigation. The CIAA has accused him of submitting a fake educational qualification certificate to land his job. According to CIAA Spokesperson Narahari Ghimire, Kunwar presented a document claiming that he had passed the high school level examination under the Madhyamik Shiksha Parishad (Board of High School and Intermediate Education, UP).

The corruption case, which has been filed at the Special Court, accuses Kunwar of securing his position in the government service and obtaining promotions and other benefits based on the fraudulent certificate.
