File: Rajendra Khadgi
Stunt coordinator Rajendra Khadgi, who has been accused of being involved in human trafficking, has been sent to police custody as prosecutors gather evidence to file a criminal case against him.
A local court ordered that Khadgi remain in custody so that investigation can continue.
According to police, Khadgi, who has been accused of trafficking Nepalis to Korea, has been sent to the Central Jail in Sundhara. Police say that 12 people had accompanied Khadgi to Korea where the group was to perform at a cultural event. But only two of them returned to Nepal.
Khadgi allegedly took money from the 10 people to get them to Korea, where they would hide from authorities and work illegally.
Police started an investigation into the case after the Nepali embassy in South Korea informed authorities about the case. Khadgi confessed to police that he took the ten people to Korea in return for money. He had said that he did not know it was a crime.
