According to Commission spokesperson Vigyanraj Sharma, a letter has been sent to the author to appear before the Commission on Tuesday. In the letter, it is asked to come to the commission within seven days and give a statement.

Spokesperson Sharma informed that after the statements of those who were in the leadership of the administration and security agencies during the agitation, the interrogation of the political leadership was started. At the same time, a letter was sent to the then Home Minister in the first step. According to the Commission, preparations are being made to send a letter to the then Prime Minister and CPN-UML Chairman KP Sharma Oli for a statement.

The government formed an inquiry commission under the leadership of former judge Gauri Bahadur Karki to investigate the incidents of August 23 and 24.
