According to Janardan Gautam, Joint Secretary of the Ministry of Home Affairs and coordinator of the committee, the search for the Dhami is currently underway.
The team visited the site of the incident and met with the family of Jay Singh Dami last Friday. “Our investigation is still underway. The investigation committee is questioning members of the security committee and security personnels as well,” Gautam said. “The government has given us 10 days to submit a report but it is unsure if we will meet the deadline. We will return to Kathmandu after conducting a search with the help of a drone camera.”
According to Acting Chief District Officer Jyotsana Bhatta Joshi, who is also a committee member, talks are underway with the Indian side to fly a drone to stretch the search operation.
