Parliamentary hearing on proposed Election Commissioner Pradhan adjourned

KATHMANDU, July 4: The parliamentary hearing scheduled for Friday on the proposed Election Commissioner Krishna Man Pradhan has been postponed. The hearing committee, after discussing with the complainants on Thursday, decided to adjourn the hearing for further investigation into the allegations presented.

A woman has accused Pradhan of sexual harassment, claiming that the case was settled at court under his pressure.

There are additional complaints against him. UML MP Mahesh Bartaula, a member of the hearing committee, said that the hearing was postponed to allow for a more thorough examination of the complaint. 

The committee conducted a closed-room discussion with the complainant and has requested the audio file of her conversation with Pradhan for further review. 

The hearing will resume only after these steps are completed.
