Police arrested former chief executive officer of Bank of Kathmandu (BoK) Ajaya Shrestha and ten others on the charge of banking offence. The CIB has also arrested debtor Surendra Shrestha, confirmed CIB spokesperson Bel Bahadur Pandey.
Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) under Nepal Police arrested former chief executive officer Shrestha, bank staffers Kiran Bohara, Richa Shrestha, Sushma Shah, Pushparaj Bhandari, Bikram Panta and among others – from various places on different dates recently – for alleged banking offence.
The bank officials are accused of issuing a bank loan of worth Rs 45 million to the debtors based on the forged documents produced by debtors, he said, adding that the bank officials are accused of facilitating the illegal transaction to purchase land in Kathmandu.
The aforementioned individuals were arrested, according to the Pandey.
Of the detainees, two are former staffers of the bank, while three are incumbent staffers, the CIB informed, adding that the preliminary investigation has revealed that the debtors created fake land registration certificates to avail the loan from Bank of Kathmandu. “Later on, the debtors produced it as collateral to acquire the loan.”
The bankers have but shown serious concern on Shrestha's arrest as Shrestha is known as a gentleman banker among his fraternity.
