Kathmandu, November 5, 2026 — Shram Sanskriti Party Chair Harka Sampang has questioned the government over whether the removal of Nepal Police Inspector General Dan Bahadur Karki strengthened or weakened police morale.
In a social media post, Sampang asked whether Karki’s dismissal had boosted or lowered the morale of police personnel. He also questioned whether intermediaries had played a role in the appointment of the new police chief.
“Did the dismissal of the IGP increase or decrease police morale? Did a middleman play a role in the appointment of this IGP or not?” he wrote.
The government removed Karki from the post of Inspector General and appointed Manoj KC as his replacement. The decision has drawn criticism from various quarters.
Nepali Congress office bearers are meeting in Sanepa to discuss recent political developments, the government’s IGP appointment decision and demands for a parliamentary investigation committee.
