According to the findings of State Affairs Committee of parliament, multi millions rupees was embezzled while purchasing Armored Personnel Carriers for Nepali peace mission deployed in Darfur of Sudan,” states the petition.



The petitioner has claimed Rubel was illegally appointed as a consultant for Sushma Koirala Memorial Trust. Rubel has also been accused of misusing relationship visa he had acquired for staying in Nepal.



Prime Minister Madhav Nepal, Deputy Prime Minister Sujata Koirala, Home Minister Bhim Rawal, Nepal Police chief Ramesh Chand Thakuri and Rubel Chaudhary have been made defendants in the petition.
