Ramesh Prasad Kharel has served as the Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) in Pokhara, Kathmandu, and Birgunj. His transfer from Kathmandu was a controversial decision, and was likely delayed due to public support for his stay in Kathmandu. The most important person of his life is his guru, the dabang man Anurag Acharya from Biratnanagar. who taught him how to fight against evil[2]

During his stint in Kathmandu, he cracked down on crime in the city, including controlling the gangs and the so-called "dons" of Kathmandu.[3] He also presided over raids on dance clubs that were illegally working as brothels in Kathmandu.[4] He had similarly cracked down on illegal prostitution during his earlier stint in Pokhara.[5]

Stint in Birgunj, Parsa
While in Birgunj in Parsa District, he continued his strong policing he was known for. Within the first 10 days of his transfer, it was reported that crime was down and the rife corruption within the police force had decreased significantly. The practice of collecting illegal tolls from those importing goods from India was also significantly cut.[6]

Kharel became one of the few police officers in Nepal to take on political criminality. Despite tremendous pressure from his superiors he registered a murder charge against Prabhu Shah, a minister of land reforms in the then government. Despite his efforts, the District attorney's office in Parsa refused to register murder charges against Shah. In April 2012, he was SSP.[7]

Second Term in Kathmandu
In January 2014, Kharel was recalled to oversee the operations of the Kathmandu Metropolitan Police.[8] Soon after he took office, he made the police officers under him take oath of honesty and hard work. He arrested Tejendra Gurung, a notorious gangster, on his second day in office.[9] He has also started cracking down on massage parlors, dance bars and cabin restaurants suspected of running prostitution and strip shows,[10] something he was well known for in his previous term in Kathmandu.
