Home Ministry asks OAG if punishment of lawmaker Arun Chaudhary can be waived

The Home Ministry has sought opinion of the Office of Attorney General (OAG) on whether the punishment of Nagarik Unmukti Party lawmaker Arun Kumar Chaudhary can be waived or not.

The Home Ministry sent a letter Thursday asking two questions about Chaudhary's case, according to an OAG source. "The first seeks information about whether the case has been concluded or not. And the next seeks opinion on whether the jail term and claims can be waived or not," the source added.
