Kanak Mani Dixit, the Nepali editor arrested on Friday over corruption
charges, was admitted to the intensive care unit of the Bir Hospital in
Kathmandu on Saturday.
Kunda Dixit, Kanak Mani Dixit’s brother, confirmed the latter’s
admittance to hospital to check uncontrolled blood pressure and heart
condition, The Himalayan Times reported.
Allegations of graft
The Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA), which
arrested Mr. Dixit, accuses the editor of illegal accumulation of
wealth. Diplomatic sources in Nepal told The Hindu that there could be
more arrests by the organisation which has launched a war on corruption.
