PM urges for evidence-based investigation and prosecution

June 13, Kathmandu: Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has requested that the relevant authorities assist in making investigations and prosecution evidence-based and effective through the use of technology in legal procedures. Inaugurating the Third National Conference of Police Investigators and Government Prosecutors in Kathmandu today, the PM urged the investigators and prosecutors to carry out their jobs for legal procedures in a fair manner, based on evidence and facts.

The PM said that drafting contextual laws and their effective implementation were needed to build a just society by conducting different research, studies and investigations for social harmony and to avoid injustice. “For this, there is a need for sufficient resources, well-trained, efficient and honest human resources.
