Rautahat Rajkumar Silwal, the traffic chief of Madhes state, is a police officer who is surrounded by controversy. He has been prosecuted at different times and now he is again involved in the stolen car case. Also, Chaturvedi started a special investigation after the complaint reached the provincial police office Janakpur that Silwal was trying to use the traffic police offices of Madhes province as a means of earning income, collecting monthly amount from the subordinate offices and truck businessmen. 

According to a senior police officer involved in the investigation, at the initial stage, evidence was found that Silwal was taking regular money from subordinate offices and Bharatbhabay trucks, chaff-carrying trucks and truck traders, and sending people he got without knowing the in-charge police inspectors in the subordinate districts and not being able to use Indian vehicles in other places except Pathalaiya, and taking monthly payments from various commercial transports. After Chaturvedi's promotion, the detailed investigation remained incomplete.
 
During this investigation, the fact that Silwal was using the stolen vehicle as a private vehicle has also come to light. In June of the last financial year, the District Traffic Police Office, Bara, seized a private jeep with the number P 3-01-022 Ch 0968 and sent it to the Highway Safety and Traffic Management Office at Pathalaiya for further investigation on 18 June 2082.

Sources informed that Silwal started using the Jeep as his own vehicle without going through the necessary procedures as per the law.
 
An officer of the sub-metropolitan city said that he repaired the recovered jeep at the Bhola Motors workshop located in Jeetpursimra sub-metropolitan city-2 worth about one lakh rupees, and for payment, he prepared to use the number of another vehicle in Jeetpursimra sub-metropolitan city to pay the amount.

According to the official, it is completely illegal and unethical to try to pay the repair costs of stolen vehicles through the local government.
