The government has constituted an inquiry committee to look into the allegations against Bangladesh Ambassador in Nepal Dr Neem Chandra Bhowmik, Foreign Minister Dipu Moni disclosed this at her ministry yesterday.
She said in a press briefing at the ministry that her office has taken the allegations against Dr Bhowmik into cognisance.
A committee comprised of officials of the Prime Minister's Office, and ministries of foreign affairs and public administration will go to Kathmandu to investigate the allegations, she added.
Bhowmik, a teacher of Department of Applied Physics, Electronics and Communication Engineering of Dhaka University, was appointed Bangladesh Ambassador to Nepal in 2009.
Foreign ministry sources said that the ministry received a number of serious allegations against the ambassador including gross violation of diplomatic norms, practices, nuisances, disgraceful acts, poor handling of diplomatic affairs and women-related scandals.
At the press conference, a journalist presented before the FM an unsigned printed matter without any letterhead, which listed irregularities of Dr Bhowmik.
However, Dipu Moni declined to recognise it because there was no name of source, letterhead or anything in the matter.
She said necessary action will be taken immediately after the inquiry committee submits its report.
"We are proceeding in the proper way for a complete investigation," Foreign Secretary Mijarul Quayes, who was present at the press briefing, said.
