KATHMANDU, Dec 1: The restriction preventing former National Investigation Department (NID) Chief Hutaraj Thapa from leaving the Kathmandu Valley has been lifted following the completion of his statement before the probe commission.
The Gauri Bahadur Karki-led commission investigating the incidents during the September 8–9 Gen Z protests had earlier barred Thapa from exiting the Valley. The Probe Commission Spokesperson and a member Bijyan Raj Sharma said the restriction was revoked after Thapa recorded his testimony.

The probe commission had also prohibited him from travelling abroad.
Former Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli, former Home Minister Ramesh Lekhak, Home Secretary Gokarna Mani Duwadi, and former Inspector General of Police Chandra Kuber Khapung were placed under similar movement restrictions. None have yet given their testimony, with the commission preparing to record their statements in the coming days.
