Kathmandu, May 2
Speaker Dev Raj Ghimire has suspended Laxmi Mahato Koiri, a member of the House of Representatives.
Sources at the Parliament Secretariat say Ghimire suspended Koiri after the Nepal Police sent a letter for the second time saying that Koiri is accused of a murder and is on the fugitive list.
Koiri, a UML leader, was elected to the House of Representatives from Mahottari 1.
Koiri is accused of murdering Armed Police Force ASI Thaman BK on September 11, 2015.
