Cyber Bureau summons Congress joint general secretary Ajay Babu Shivakoti

Nepali Congress joint general secretary Ajay Babu Shivakoti has been summoned by Nepal Police's Cyber Bureau.

Shivakoti, who was out of Kathmandu on a religious trip, was contacted by the Cyber Bureau over the phone and asked to appear. The matter has drawn attention since this is a central office-bearer of Congress being summoned by the police's Cyber Bureau.

After being summoned, joint general secretary Shivakoti said he would not be deterred by fear of the government. Detailed information on exactly what matter he has been summoned over is not mentioned in the reports received.

Shivakoti is among the office-bearers elected after Nepali Congress's recently concluded general convention. Congress currently holds the role of the main opposition party.
