Minister Gupta quits. Bribery scandal refuses to die down

Opposition demands thorough probe and action against Raj Kumar Gupta and Minister Adhikari over leaked audio.

Raj Kumar Gupta tendered his resignation from the post of Minister for Federal Affairs and General Administration on Tuesday. This followed intense pressure on Gupta over two recently leaked audio clips that linked him to a Rs7.8 million bribery deal involving a political appointment and transfer of a government official in Kaski district.
