Leading Nepalese journalist arrested on corruption charges
Dixit, editor and publisher of news magazine Himal Southasian, was arrested from his residence in Patan.
The veteran journalist, who is also the chairman of Sajha Yatayat, the public transportation bus system in Nepal which serves Kathmandu Valley, has been accused of misappropriating money by misusing his public post.
The anti-graft body has been probing his property details on suspicion of “amassing property disproportionate to his known source of income”.
