# Nepal ex-PM Deuba returns amid money-laundering investigation 2026-08-13T20:32:09+00:00 | World & Diplomacy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets Former Nepal prime minister Sher Bahadur Deuba returned to Kathmandu on Thursday after over five months abroad for medical treatment. He was injured during the Gen Z protests in September 2025. His wife, former foreign minister Arzu Rana Deuba, who accompanied him, has not yet returned. Deuba faces a money-laundering investigation, with his assets frozen and an arrest warrant issued earlier, though the Supreme Court quashed the warrant in May. His return also comes as the Nepali Congress party faces a possible split, with a factional gathering planned for Friday. ## Coverage - assamtribune.com - thehindu.com Tags: money laundering, Nepal, Nepal politics, party split, Sher Bahadur Deuba, Supreme Court Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/former-nepal-pm-deuba-returns-amid-money-laundering-probe/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
