Deputy Prime Minister and Home Minister Ravi Lamichhane has said that it has been discovered that Gitendrababu (GB) Rai, chairman of Gorkha Media Network, is in Malaysia. Home Minister Lamichhane has said that he has already discussed GB Rai with the Home Minister of Malaysia.
Speaking to reporters at Bharatpur Airport on Thursday morning, Home Minister Lamichhane informed that Rai's location has also been discovered after talking to the Malaysian Home Minister. He said, 'The research on this matter has come very close.' In the meantime, I have had 2 conversations with the Home Minister of Malaysia . I have had a conversation with him 3/4 days ago. Because we don't have an extradition treaty, some diplomatic initiatives are taking time. But we are close. We are doing our best day and night.' Do you know where GB Rai is? In response to a journalist's question, Home Minister Lamichhane said, 'I have been confirmed by the Home Minister about the location.'
GB Rai has been on the run ever since the case was registered on charges of misappropriation of funds of half a dozen savings and loan cooperatives across the country, including Pokhara-based Suryadarshan. Farrar Rai is the founder president of Suryadarshan Cooperative.
The cooperative fraud case filed on October 18, 2080 against 19 people including Rai for misappropriation of more than 1 billion rupees of Suryadarshan Cooperative's savers is pending in the Kaski District Court. Only 5 of the defendants in the case have been arrested and are currently in jail pending trial. 14 people including Rai are still absconding.
Rai has been accused of embezzling the savings of thousands of common people from Sahara in Chitwan along with Suryadarshan, Sano Paila in Birganj in Parsa, Supreme in Butwal in Rupandehi, Samana in Nepalgunj in Banke and Swarnalakshmi Cooperative in Kathmandu. Among them, only the crime related to embezzlement of Suryadarshan was investigated and a case was filed in the court against the defendant along with Rai. The police are continuing the investigation into the case of embezzlement of other cooperatives involving Rai.
