Kathmandu, Nov 13: The Commission formed to investigate the September 8–9 Gen Z Movement has barred Chandra Kuber Khapung, who retired as the Inspector General of Police today, from travelling abroad. 

According to Commission Spokesperson Bigyan Raj Sharma, a meeting of the Commission today decided to restrict Khapung who retired from the service today from traveling outside the Valley without it prior permission and from leaving the country.
