Sudan Gurung, who was earlier removed from the post of Nepal's interior minister, was reportedly reinstated on Tuesday after an official investigation into his finances found no wrongdoing, paving the way for his return to office.
"Prime Minister Balendra Shah reappointed Gurung as home minister," Shah's media adviser Dipa Dahal told AFP.
Stepped down to allow a "fair investigation"
Gurung had resigned from the post on April 22, only weeks after assuming office, saying he wanted to ensure a "fair investigation" into questions surrounding his financial investments. Reports had raised concerns over whether he had failed to disclose certain investments, prompting the government to order a review.
