Dhaka Kumar Shrestha is a Nepalese politician, formerly belonging to the Rastriya Swatantra Party. In the 2022 Nepalese general election he was elected as a proportional representative from the indigenous people category.[1][2]

In 2023, Shrestha was suspended from parliament for asking 20 million from Durga Prasai of which audio was leaked.[3][4] This controversy is thought to defame the party and cause loss amidst the by-elections.[5] Later a new audio was found which proved him of abusing authority.[6]
