Money Laundering Department Raids Homes of Former Chief Justice Rana's Brother and Associates
An earlier version of this story, its headline and its card said investigators raided former Chief Justice Cholendra Shumsher Rana's own home and seized documents and devices there, citing the Kathmandu Post among others. The Post has since corrected its report to say the department raided the home of Rana's brother, Prabhu Shumsher Rana, and seized them there. OnlineKhabar and Republica still report a raid on Rana's own home. The earlier version also credited Republica with calling Nabin Basnet Rana's son-in-law. OnlineKhabar called him that. Republica named him without saying how he is related.
