Nepal’s anti-corruption agency has summoned former Foreign Minister Arzu Rana Deuba and representatives from two German companies as part of an investigation into the procurement of electronic passports. The move follows the recent arrest of four individuals connected to the deal. Authorities are scrutinizing the process for potential irregularities and alleged corruption. The Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA) has not disclosed specific details regarding the allegations. Deuba served as foreign minister during the period the passport procurement contract was awarded. The investigation centers on concerns about transparency and adherence to proper procedures in the awarding of the contract to the German firms. Further details are expected following the questioning of those summoned.
