KATHMANDU, FEB 01 -
Police on Tuesday, arrested a person for raising a huge amount of money from various banks, illegally. He raised all the money deceiving the financial institutions in the name of senior UCPN (Maoist) cadres.
Ishwori Prasad Pokharel of Pyuthan was arrested in the Capital by a police team deployed under the Metropolitan Police Crime Division, Kathmandu.
Three months ago, Pokharel, with a help of a Nepali citizen, made fake citizenship certificates from Gorakhpur in India, in the names of Maoist leaders Janardan Sharma ‘Prabhakar’, Netra Bikram Chand ‘Biplov’, Himal Sharma and Pravin Dhakal, police said.
He has been using those fake citizenships to cheat the banks and other people by opening bank accounts in the fake names.
It has been reported that Pokharel cheated Rs. 12 hundred thousands from CEO Kamal Gyawali of Kist Bank. Pokharel called the CEO and reasoning some important tasks, he asked Gyawali to deposit the cash in his account.
Similarly, Pokharel chiseled five hundred thousands rupees from Madhyapaschimanchal Rural Development Bank, Four hundred and 70 thousands rupees from Karnali Development Bank.
A former Indian army, Pokharel, said that he betrayed the banks in order to defame the Maoists as the Maoists, like he said, ruined his life.
"They [Maoists] abducted me and held me for six months, and as a result I lost my job due to the long-time absence," said Pokharel. "After that I tried to defame their names."
