The Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA) on Thursday filed a corruption case at the Special Court against Nepal and other defendants involved in the land misappropriation case.

The anti-graft body has demanded compensation of Rs185.5 million from Nepal for causing losses to the state coffers.

The CIAA has also charged then law minister Prem Bahadur Singh, then land reform minister Dambar Bahadur Shrestha, then chief secretary Madhav Prasad Ghimire, then Secretary at the Ministry of Land Reform Chhabiraj Pant; Shaligram Singh, head of Patanjali Yogpeeth and Ayurveda Company Nepal, secretaries and other top officials.

The case involves alleged misappropriation of land acquired for Patanjali Yogpeeth Nepal under government exemptions for land ownership ceiling.
