Ruppandehi District Court has ordered to send the vice president of Gorkha Media Network and former DIG of Nepal Police Chabilal Joshi to prison for preliminary investigation in Supreme Cooperative fraud case of Butwal. In a case of the same nature, the then managing director of Gorkha Media Network, Ravi Lamichhane, was ordered to be released by the court on a bond of 1 crore.
Judge Vashisht Kumar Ghimire's bench ordered Joshi, who appeared in the court on Monday, to be sent to prison for preliminary investigation. "Since there is no evidence that the defendant committed a crime intentionally, the order has been made to keep him in custody and take him to trial," said Yagyamurthy Gyawali, district court judge, "further evidence will be provided later as it is understood." Earlier, Joshi Lakshmi was released on a bail of 88 lakhs in the Suryadarshan Cooperative fraud case in Pokhara and 50 lakhs in the Swarna Lakshmi fraud case in Kathmandu. A case has also been registered against him in Chitwan's Sahara Cooperative fraud.
Lamichhane was ordered to be released on bail by the bench of Judge Prahlad Kumar Yogi in the Supreme Cooperative fraud case. Based on the evidence received immediately, the court said that there was no reason to believe that Lamichhane had not committed any crime, and ordered that he be released on bail as determined later.
Lamichhane and Joshi appeared in the court after the District Public Prosecutor's Office filed a supplementary charge making 22 people including Lamichhane defendants in the Supreme Cooperative fraud. The other accused are still absconding. 55 crore rupees has been fixed in the supplementary charge. It has been seen that a personal loan of 25 million and 1099 million under collective liability has been taken from Supreme in the name of Joshi. Earlier last Baisakh, a case was registered in co-operative fraud with 28 people including Gitendrababu (GB) Rai as defendants. A case with additional charges has also been registered against 17 of them.
