KATHMANDU, Feb 12: Inspector Bhupendra Budhathoki of Nepal Police has become the first police officer to get the ‘silver play button’ from YouTube after achieving the milestone of 0.1 million subscribers.
Before joining the law enforcement agency, the police officer from Dang used to compose poems and ghazals. After being enrolled in training for the post of Assistant Sub-Inspector of Police (ASI) in 2073 BS, he searched for songs related to the police but he couldn't find any. So, he decided to give it a try to compose songs related to the lives of police. In his spare time, he started to note the words while observing his environment and jumbled it and composed his first song ‘Hami Nepal Prahari’.
His songs went viral and his interests motivated him to compose more songs. He shared that after being promoted to Police Inspector in 2077 BS, he has been busy with his profession but he has made a bucket list to continue his passion by composing a song once a year.

He shared that he does not put other videos on YouTube except his songs as he is afraid of getting negative comments from people.
He said, “I didn’t create my Youtube channel to earn money, but I aimed to gain fame and make my songs evergreen.”
He has also received two national music awards for his famous songs ‘Phool Bhanau Jindagi Lai’ and ‘Dhoka Mathi Dhoka.’
He said, “No one is immortal but songs composed by people are forever remembered.”
