547 savers have reconciled with Dev Kumar Nepali, founder president of Image Savings and Credit Cooperative, who is in jail for saving money fraud. They made a settlement saying that they got Rs.
District Judge Rameshkant Adhikari's bench ordered a partial reconciliation in the co-operative fraud on Friday. It is mentioned in the order that an application was received from 547 people, including the victims Tara Bahadur Kunwar, Manju Sharma Chalise and Yam Bahadur Kunwar, for reconciliation according to section 117 of the Civil Criminal Code 2074 and the reconciliation was done according to section 118 (3). District Public Prosecutor Purna Prasad Sharma said, "This decision has reduced the burden of the opposition, the case is not over. This is a model order for Nepal." He said that this order will create an environment where the victims will get the money they were cheated on.
Chief District Officer Netra Prasad Subedi and District Police Chief SP Rishiram Kandel facilitated the environment for collecting the victims and getting the money back. "With this order, even small savers will get money back from movable and immovable property of Nepalese," said Prazia Subedi, "the case will continue, but small savers can live by getting some money back, this is a positive practice of fraud." He said that this order is useful to end the situation where the victim is stranded after going to jail.
Nepali, the head of Dhorpatan Municipality, was sent to prison for pre-trial detention by District Court Baglung on October 15. He is still in prison. A total of 1,573 people filed a complaint of co-operative fraud against 13 people, including the owners and employees of Image Cooperative, including Nepali. There is a case against him in the court for embezzling 1 billion 45 crore rupees from the cooperative. Nepali was on the run since May 4, 2080. After the notice that the office of Image Cooperative was closed due to lack of liquidity was posted on 080 Baisakh 6, the savers appealed to the district administration, police and other concerned agencies.
After the investigation by the police, the public prosecutor's office prosecuted the case in the district court. At that time, the Nepalese were absconding. He was arrested and brought from New Delhi in the first week of October. The owners of Image Cooperative Chitra Bahadur Bhandari, Narmati Budha, Shakti Kisan, Dor Bahadur Periyar and Anita Budhamgar are also in custody pending trial. Om Prasad Darji was released on bail in the same case.
