Former Nepalese PM Deuba returns home

Deuba waves to supporters outside the airport in Kathmandu.

Former Nepal prime minister Sher Bahadur Deuba, facing arrest for alleged corruption, returned home on Aug. 13, six months after leaving for medical treatment abroad.

The veteran leader of the opposition Nepali Congress party waved and smiled as hundreds of supporters lined up the streets leading to Tribhuvan airport in the capital, Kathmandu.

In April, police issued an arrest warrant for Deuba over money laundering charges, making him the latest high-profile figure targeted under the government of Balendra Shah.
