In eight months, more over 800 people were arrested for severe offenses in kathmandu

Over 800 people implicated in severe crimes in the Kathmandu Valley have been detained and charged in the last eight months, according to data from the Kathmandu Valley Crime Investigation Office (KVCIO).

800 people were detained for a variety of charges amid ongoing investigations into major crimes, according to Sanu Ram Bhattarai, Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) of the KVCIO. Some of these are still being investigated, but 621 of them have been sent for legal action.

SSP Bhattarai stated, “others of those arrested were directly involved in crimes, others were fugitives, and others were obstructing the law. They were also brought under legal processes as a result of the KVCIO police officers’ effective investigation.”

It was widely reported that the KVCIO had just rescued a Chinese national from Bhimphedi after he had been abducted by some Indian people.

After being abducted by Indians, the Chinese national conned the Indian in Nepal out of roughly Rs 50 million. Following the kidnapping, the person was safely freed by the KVCIO team once they arrived in Bhimphedi. Wu Huan Huan, a Chinese national, was abducted by his gullible clients, who were Ashutosh Datreya Thorat, age 33, Ashraf Yunus Sheikh, age 40, Amol Kharmate, age 30, and Ambadas Srisat, age 30, all from Maharashtra.

SSP Bhattarai claims that although the kidnappers and the abductee both intended to avoid the police, they were apprehended. SSP Bhattrai claims that after being duped by the Chinese, the Indians claimed to have abducted him in order to retrieve the money.

Following the Indian nationals’ car, police detained them in the Bhimphedi forest and transported them to Kathmandu. They got out of the car and ran into the forest when the cops began to search them.

Another intriguing inquiry has been carried out by the KVCIO. A Tibetan national was caught using a forged Nepali citizenship document during a raid at a location in the Bauddha area where a novel form of gambling was being conducted. Following a raid on the “Fish Shot Game” located on the second floor of Pushpa Lama’s residence on Phulbari Marga in Bauddha, this enigma was made public. Police arrested seven people who were gambling there. Police confiscated mobile phones, Rs 1.2 million, 3,100 Chinese yuan, and $2,000 from individuals who were arrested. Sonam Tamang, a Tibetan native; Jampha Khedup, a resident of Tusal, Bauddha, from Bihar, India; Narbu Samden, a resident of Lhasa, China; and Dasang, a Chinese national, were among those detained.

Police detained Lopsang Lama of Panchpokhari in Sindhupalchowk, Tenzing Norbu Sherpa of Simaltar in Bauddha, and Chinese national Wei Chungling. Sonam Tamang, a person of Tibetan descent, was found to have obtained a fake citizenship from Dhading during the course of the investigation.

The enigma surrounding Sonam’s acquisition of the fictitious citizenship came to light during additional research. The gang members who were in charge of creating Sonam’s false citizenship were later apprehended by the KVCIO team.

Four people were taken into custody by the police in relation to Sonam’s forged citizenship document. They are Chhiring Wangding Sherpa of Helambu Rural Municipality-1 in Sindhupalchok, Madan Tamang of Netrawati Dabjong Rural Municipality-1 in Dhading, Rameshwor Rijal of Khaniyabash Rural Municipality-5 in Dhading, and Chhiring Dhungdup, a Tibetan resident of Bauddha.

A Nepali citizenship certificate was brought to Sonam’s room by gang members after he gave them Rs 400,000, according to the police inquiry. Sonam had been given control of the gaming establishment, which was run by Dasang, a Chinese national. After Sonam informed Dhungdup that he need Nepali citizenship in order to grow his business in Nepal, a phony citizenship certificate was created.

Fraud in the name of foreign employment was also investigated, according to SSP Bhattarai.

Resham Rawal, Prem Bahadur Rawal, Surendra Tamang, Santabir Ghimire, Rajesh Saud, and Tanka Raj Khanal are all facing charges of fraud-related offenses. They were detained for scamming more than Rs 25 million by posting social media ads promising lucrative salary, allowances, and other incentives for foreign workers in Portugal and Poland.

Following their arrest and the completion of the required investigations into the fraud-related violation, Raj Kumar Bhatta, Pawan Panta, and Nabin BK were found guilty of defrauding more than 300 victims out of Rs 150 million by promising to send them to Lithuania and other countries for work abroad. Similarly, in a fraud case, Krishna Bahadur Basnet and Kamal Gyawali were arrested and sent for mandatory action after defrauding 19 victims out of Rs 1.88 million by promising to send them to Lithuania, New Zealand, and other countries for international jobs.

Two individuals engaged in the illicit red sandalwood trade were detained by a KVCIO team a while back. Red sandalwood, which had long been trafficked and smuggled under false pretenses, was confiscated.

The individuals who were taken into custody are Ramesh Thapa, 41, of Kalanki, Kathmandu Metropolitan City-14, and Gyan Bahadur Timalsina, 40, of Balefi Rural Municipality-8, Sindhupalchowk, who is currently living in Pepsicola, Kathmandu. 431 kg of red sandalwood were found during a raid in the Pepsicola neighborhood of Kathmandu Metropolitan City-32. On the evening of January 14, the red sandalwood was discovered concealed in a chamber in the Pepsicola region.

Has the Valley’s arrest rate or crime rate gone up?

Both have gone up. There has been a minor rise in crime. In spite of this, the number of police investigations has increased in an effort to curb crime, apprehend fugitive criminals, and start legal proceedings.

Which kinds of crimes take place in the Valley?

These days, the tendency of criminal activity has shifted due to technological advancements. The number of crimes involving deception is rising, particularly as a result of the information that is now accessible on social media thanks to technological advancements. Furthermore, another concern brought on by the unemployment crisis is also apparent.

False claims of lucrative earnings in international employment have fooled thousands of young people. While some do not interact with the police, others do. However, a sizable number of scammers have been brought into custody and legal action has been taken in response to the complaints that the Criminal Investigation Bureau received and the material that KVCIO collected. On the other hand, cooperative fraud is another problem. Cooperative fraud complaints have often resulted in the arrest and prosecution of fugitives implicated in the crimes.

Through chat groups on Facebook, WhatsApp, and Viber, scammers have tricked a lot of regular people by asking them to deposit money in order to receive packages.
