Kathmandu, February 26
South Korean police officials have also launched a probe on an alleged human trafficking case in which Nepali cine industry’s top action director Rajendra Khadgi is also involved. Khadgi is under trial in Kathmandu now.
Sources say police in Seoul also launched the probe as Khadgi mentioned names of two Korean nationals also in his statement given to Nepal Police. Likewise, he also mentioned the name of a Nepali national currently living in Korea, Netra Bahadur Tamang.
He said that he would just send people off Kathmandu, and those three people would facilitate other procedures in Korea.
Maintaining that he did not know it was a crime, Khadgi has already accepted that he was involved in sending people to Korea with fake assurances.
Meanwhile, the Kathmandu District Court remanded Khadgi to police custody for next seven days on Sunday. The Central Investigation Bureau of Nepal Police is looking after the case.
