Notorious sports betting suspect Amrit Agrawal aka Nagraj

Kathmandu, September 27

Nepal’s Department of Money Laundering Investigation says it has begun an investigation into the charges lebelled against notorious sports betting suspect Amrit Agrawal aka Nagraj.

Agrawal was arrested around three months ago on the charge of carrying out betting activities during the latest editions of FIFA World Cup and Indian Premier League among other national and international sporting events.

Police had arrested him after they received complaints that Agrawal defrauded people of Rs 24 million with assurances that their principal amount would triple in three months.

He, however, was released on bail later by Patan High Court.

SSP Dhiraj Pratap Singh, Chief of the Metropolitan Police Crime Division, says police had handed over the case to the Department after his involvement in money laundering activities surfaced during the police probe.
