Kathmandu. Shivraj Karki, the producer of the film 'Tel Visa,' is currently in custody at the Department of Foreign Employment in Tahachal on allegations of fraud. He was a fugitive in a case related to foreign employment fraud. Karki, who had been living in India for a long time, was arrested on Chaitra 9 from Swayambhu, Kathmandu Metropolitan City-15.
SP Manohar Bhatta of the Valley Crime Investigation Office told Ratopati that he was arrested with the help of the Foreign Employment Rights Protection Society based on a tip-off that he had arrived in Kathmandu. He said, "He had been in Nepal for 3 days from India."
Police investigation concludes that Karki, who has been running a consultancy named P&M Innovative Service in Chabahil, Kathmandu for the past 10 years, defrauded nearly 250 members of the public by promising to send them abroad. Through the consultancy, Karki took money from the public after promising to send them to Serbia, Greece, and Azerbaijan, and then became unreachable.
His consultancy in Chabahil had been completely shut down for the last 3 months. DSP Anil Ghimire of the Valley Crime Investigation Office, involved in the investigation, told Ratopati that Karki had recently been living in India after leaving Nepal. It has been learned that he was operating a hotel named 'Annapurna Fast Food' in Pahadganj, New Delhi, India. In his statement to the police, he confirmed operating a hotel in Pahadganj.
DSP Ghimire stated that an Aadhaar card and PAN card issued by the Indian government in Karki's name were also found.
One hundred victims defrauded by the 44-year-old Karki, who is a resident of Sunkoshi Rural Municipality-7, Sindhuli, have come into contact with the police. SP Bhatta says, "We suspect he defrauded nearly 250 people, and more victims are coming forward."
It was found that a case was registered against him at the Sohrakhutte Police Circle on 2082 Asar 24 under banking offenses. So far, six complaints have been registered against Karki for foreign employment and banking offenses. Preliminary police investigation revealed that he extorted amounts ranging from 1 lakh to 20 lakh from individuals promising to send them to Serbia, Greece, and Azerbaijan.
The Department of Foreign Employment is investigating the accused after obtaining a remand from the court.
