KATHMANDU, Dec 8: The Investigation Committee that probed into the road accident involving former Minister for Home Affairs Madhav Prasad Ghimire has concluded that the incident took place when his jeep tried to overtake a truck.
The Committee coordinated by former Inspector General of Police (IGP) Kuber Singh Rana has concluded that the jeep, driven by Ghimire himself, plunged into Trishuli River at Ghoptebhir in Chitwan district on September 25 while overtaking. The Kathmandu-bound jeep was coming from Mustang with the family members of Ghimire after concluding a religious trip.
The report prepared by the Committee also established the fact that since Ghimire was driving himself, no other persons could be held accountable for it. Furthermore, the report persuades to acknowledge the event as a mere fateful accident.
Submitting the report, Coordinator Rana explained, "The incident took place when the jeep driven by Madhav Prasad Ghimire was trying to overtake a truck and struck with another truck coming from the opposite direction."He added, "The jeep then lost its balance and fell into the Trishuli River."
It is also assumed that Ghimire failed to use brake so as to take his jeep under his control.
