Law enforcement in Nepal is primarily the responsibility of the Nepalese Police Force which is the national police of Nepal. It is independent of the Nepalese Army. In the days of its establishment, Nepal Police personnel were mainly drawn from the armed forces of the Nepali Congress Party which fought against feudal Rana autocracy in Nepal. Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) and National Investigation Department of Nepal
(NID) are the investigation agencies of Nepal. They have offices in all
75 administrative districts including region offices in five regions
and Zonal offices in fourteen Zones. Numbers varies from three to five
members at each district level in rural districts and numbers can be
higher in urban districts. They have both Domestic and International
surveillance unit which mainly deals with cross border terrorists, drug
trafficking, money laundering.
Capital punishment was abolished in Nepal in 1997.
In 2008, the Nepalese government abolished the Haliya system of forced labour, freeing about 20,000 people.
