District Public Prosecutor's Office Rupandehi has registered an additional prosecution case related to embezzlement of Supreme Savings and Loan Cooperative of Butwal. The supplementary prosecution will be registered on Friday due to lack of time.

Earlier, the public prosecutor's office had prepared to register both prosecutions. In the case registered on 3rd Baisakh, a case was registered in Baishak against 28 people including Gitendrababu Rai, the former chairman and guardian of Supreme Cooperative. District Co-Prosecutor and Information Officer Umakumari KC said that since only the case related to cooperative fraud was registered in the initial case, 17 people were also charged with organized crime. "We will file a charge sheet against Ravi Lamichhane and Chabiraj Joshi on Friday," she said. The registration is done, it will be registered tomorrow. Out of the 28 people in the initial case, 17 people have been charged with organized crime and 11 people will be prosecuted for fraud. 

In additional and supplementary prosecution, 1 billion 12 million rupees have been demanded from 42 people. Of the 1.31 billion rupees saved by 10,391 people of Supreme Cooperative, more than 86.18 million rupees have been embezzled. Out of that, more than 14 million rupees have gone to Gorkha Media Network.  

The Public Prosecutor's Office has added 14 more people including National Independent Party Chairman Ravi Lamichhane and former DIG Chabilal Joshi in the supplementary prosecution. According to the District Public Prosecutor's Office, a case will be registered against Ravi and Chabi under cooperative fraud and organized crime.

KC said that since the case has been registered in the Kaski court and is ongoing, it is concluded that there is no need to register it now, so only fraud and organized crime will be prosecuted. According to the source, Lamichhane has been asked for Rs 4 crore 15 lakh and Joshi Rs 4 crore 28 lakh in supplementary prosecution.
