KATHMANDU, July 26: The parliamentary special committee formed to investigate former finance minister Janardan Sharma has stated that the CCTV footage has been ‘recovered’ in the report received from the Central Police Forensic Science Laboratory. On Monday, the 'recovered' CCTV footage and hard disks were returned by the forensic lab of Nepal Police.

The expert team of Nepal Police has recovered 51 video footage of May 28 and submitted them to the parliamentary probe committee. Police submitted 25 clips in one package and 26 clips in another package to the committee.

After the meeting, the member secretary of the committee, Surendra Aryal said that a technical study of the report from the forensic lab should be done.

Secretary Aryal said that other additional information can be given only after the committee discusses with the technicians of the lab.

The committee was informed by the Ministry of Finance that the CCTV footage of May 27 and May 28 of the Ministry of Finance had been deleted and the hard disks of the Ministry's CCTV were given to the committee. The committee then reached out to the forensic lab of Nepal Police to recover the deleted CCTV footage.
