Kathmandu, September 2
A notorious loan shark from Sarlahi district of Province 2, whom police arrested on Sunday, is likely to face a money laundering charge also, besides fraud.
The Department of Money Laundering Investigation says it wrote to the District Police Office on Sunday and asked to investigate into money laundering activities by Shyam Krishna Sah ‘Pardeshi’. The department’s Director General Rup Narayan Bhattarai says the department would begin the probe after police completed the fraud investigation.
“We will move forward in such a way that all of his properties would get confiscated,” Bhattarai says, “We will suspend his property for now.”
Earlier, 47 victims from the district had come to Kathmandu and complained with top political leaders that he defrauded them by producing fake documents. Following that, various national media had covered the issue on Sunday.
