However, Jyoti Gurung's name is on its tamasuk, while the court papers of their divorce were made a year ago.
Similarly, Chairman of Public Accounts Committee of Parliament and UML MP Rishikesh Pokharel is also accused of misappropriating funds from the cooperative he opened by putting his wife first.

Although the victim filed a complaint with her name, the cooperative registrar's office of Koshi province, while sending the file to the police, Anjala's name disappeared.
According to cooperative owners, leader Pokharel made his wife Anjala, who is also a teacher, a director for about 6 years. Umagouri Cooperative, which has about five thousand savers, has been closed for about a year and a half. According to the saver, all the documents from the time of establishment have disappeared. Anjala, who has been the director since 2072, left the organization in 2078 when the cooperative began to fall into crisis. Chairman Shambhu Prasad Rauniyar was arrested in the 'check bounce' case. The co-operative victim filed a complaint against Anjala in the Co-operative Registrar and Training Office of Koshi Province.
