Nepalese authorities have intensified their probe into former Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba and his wife, Arzu Deuba Rana, concerning money laundering allegations by issuing arrest warrants.

The Kathmandu District Court's orders came post the Department of Money Laundering's plea, which stems from investigators finding burnt banknotes at their Kathmandu residence.

Currently believed to be in Singapore, the couple risks further legal actions, including an Interpol red corner notice, should they remain absent from proceedings.
