In Sarlahi, after the source of 27 lakh 75 thousand 970 rupees was not revealed, two people were detained along with the money, according to the police. Last year in Sarlahi, 3 people were arrested with 41 lakh 85 thousand 970 rupees from undisclosed sources.

Sending funds earned from foreign countries to Nepal through agents, private traders, individuals or unregistered agencies without sending them through legal channels or illegally transporting money from Nepal to foreign countries has not been stopped. It is considered illegal to transfer or remit money through Hundi in Nepal.

Madhesh Police Chief DIG Uma Chaturvedi said that people involved in such transactions will be brought under the scope of legal action. "It has been found that people are attracted to hundi after the money sent from outside is delivered at home," he said. Since they are using someone else's phone, they have not been able to reach the main dealer. Only porters who were used by giving some commission are being arrested, he said.

According to the police, many Nepalis send money from abroad by using Hundi as they do not have to reveal the source of money and there are no other procedural hassles when sending money through Hundi. The police has admitted that such transactions have flourished in the border area recently.

In the beginning, money used to be transported on foot. When the police started arresting them, they started using bicycles. According to the police, money is being transported on motorcycles. It has been found that women are also involved in the hundi business. Looking at the data from eight districts of Madhesh province up to May of the financial years 2079/80, 2080/081 and 2081/082, Rs. 72 million 76 thousand 33 rupees of hundi have been recovered and 81 people, including 5 women, involved in illegal money trafficking have been informed by the provincial police office.

The police officer says that other types of crimes have also increased due to the inability to control the hundi. It is believed by the police that money is sent through hundi when transporting expensive drugs and other drugs from Nepal to another country. Rautahat Police Chief SP Netramani Giri said that they are monitoring the hundi transactions from the border area. "Hundi business has increased alarmingly in the border area," he said.

When the security system in the border area is relaxed, the security personnel are also criticized saying that such activities are gaining popularity. According to the police, smugglers and hundi transactions have increased in the border areas in the districts of Madhesh province recently. It appears from the investigation that the porter will be arrested and the police investigation and access to the main owner will not be reached . Looking at the data of the police, it has been found that Indian porters are also involved in transactions whose sources are not revealed.
