Scorpio Used by Godawari Municipality Official Stolen From Lalitpur Home Parking Area

A Scorpio vehicle used by Man Bahadur Khadka, the Chief Administrative Officer of Godawari Municipality, has been reported stolen from Thecho in Lalitpur, adding an unusual administrative twist to a late-night vehicle theft case.

According to the report, the vehicle with registration number Ba 2 Jha 1878 was taken from the parking area after 10 PM on Wednesday night. Khadka informed police that the car keys were also missing from a table inside his house, raising questions about how the theft was carried out.

Local authorities have launched an investigation to trace the stolen government vehicle and determine who took it. At this stage, no details have been made public about suspects, recovery efforts, or whether the theft may have involved prior access to the premises.

What makes this case notable

The theft stands out because it involves a vehicle used by a senior municipal official rather than a private car. That immediately puts attention on both the security of the residence and the safety of government property assigned for official use.

Cases like this often trigger a wider review of vehicle custody, parking security, and access to keys, especially when the missing vehicle is tied to public administration.

Police investigation underway

Police are now working to locate the Scorpio and reconstruct the sequence of events leading up to the disappearance. The missing keys are likely to be a key part of that inquiry, since they may help investigators determine whether the theft involved opportunistic access or some form of inside knowledge.

For now, the case remains open, and authorities are expected to continue their search until the vehicle is found or more information emerges.
