A fraud case will be launched against those involved in the embezzlement of the land of the Bal Mandir in Naxal. The Attorney General's Office has decided to file a case against the then officers and employees of the Nepal Children's Organization and the director of Brihaspati Vidya Sadan, who were involved in the process of renting and giving land in a corrupt manner.
For the care and maintenance of orphan children, the land established by the government in the name of children's temple during the Panchayat period was leased to Brihaspati in 2049 by the children's organization. In the course of repeatedly extending the term of the
agreement, the 'lease' period was extended to 2131 years by making a supplementary agreement in 2072. In February 2078, Kantipur brought out the news in detail about land embezzlement. But there was a trick to stop the investigation.
According to the request of the children's organization, the Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) of the police after completing the investigation on embezzlement submitted a report with opinion to the district public prosecutor's office in Kathmandu a few months ago.
According to the same report, the Attorney General's Office has decided to prosecute the fraud case. It has been seen that there has been a fraud while leasing the land of Bal Mandir. Accordingly, we have sent a letter to the public prosecutor's office with instructions to file a case," said Suryaraj Dahal, spokesperson of the office.
Rana Prime Minister Bhimshamsher paid compensation to the people and acquired in the year 2021 and leased 29 ropani 4 annas out of 119 ropani land held in the name of children's organization. In the year 2049, when Rita Singh Vaidya became the president of the children's organization, the land was leased to Brihaspati. Vaidya is the daughter of then Congress leader Ganeshman Singh and sister of current Deputy Prime Minister and Urban Development Minister Prakashman Singh.
Children's organization had entered into an agreement to lease 9 ropani land and house/floor of lot number 760 to Brihaspati without competition on 26 Baisakh 2049 for the first time till 10th January 2053. At that time, the annual rental rate was fixed at 42 lakh 16 thousand 608 rupees.
It was mentioned in the contract to give a 20 percent discount on the rental amount if paid in advance. According to the Commission on Abuse of Authority, the details of the rent paid by Jupiter according to the agreement are not visible in the organization's records. The children's organization later extended the agreement by 5 years.
Bal Sangathan signed a supplementary agreement on 8th June 2058 and gave an additional 5 ropani 2 annas of land to Brihaspati increasing the annual rent fixed by 10 percent. Before that, sending a letter to the child organization on 6th January 2057, Brihaspati asked for only 2 more plantations of land. The supplementary agreement was signed by the then director Rajeshwar Niraula on behalf of the organization. At that time, the annual rent of the land that Brihaspati was enjoying was 30 lakh rupees.
Brihaspati made an offer on 21 July 2059 for an additional 13 ropani land with a lease period of 30 years and a monthly rental rate of Rs 4 lakh 80 thousand. The Central Committee meeting of the Children's Organization held on July 30 authorized the General Secretary Ramkaji Kone to enter into an agreement to lease 13 ropani 12 Anna 1 paisa land under Lot No. 760 till 2088.
As per Brihaspati's proposal, authorization was given for the contract to increase the rent at the rate of 5 percent in 2 years, not to increase the rent in the first and last 5 years, and increase the property of 50 million within 15 years.
Based on that, on August 11, 2059, an agreement was signed between the organization and Brihaspati for 30 years. The agreement was said to come into force from 1st Baisakh 2059. The agreement was signed by the then vice president of the organization Yogendra Bahadur Shahi, general secretary Ramkaji Kone and head of administration and procurement branch Tikamani Neupane.
A complaint was filed with the authority after a dispute started between the owners of the organization saying that the land was leased cheaply. On behalf of Brihaspati, Chief Administrator Murarinidi Tiwari sent a letter on November 7, 2066, saying that since the authority had instructed to review the rent, he could not do so.
Then the Central Working Committee of the Children's Organization decided to terminate the lease agreement of 13 ropani 12 annas 1 paisa land with Brihaspati on 14th December 2066. The general secretary of the organization, Krishna Shankar Sah, informed Brihaspati of the decision of the meeting on 30th January 2066 to be implemented from the same day.
Subaskumar Pokharel is the coordinator and Rajeshwar Niraula, Santosh Bhattarai, Krishnashankar Sah and Manohar Gopal Shrestha are the members of the resource management committee of the children's organization.
Jagga Tarun Nirman Seva decided to pass the registration. Manoj Kumar Mishra was the owner of Tarun. The authority for land registration was given to Shah, the general secretary of the Children's Organization. The agreement of the government was not taken for the land pass, and even though the agreement was cancelled, Jupiter did not leave the land. It was revealed that Vaidya, the then president of the
organization, took 75 lakh rupees from Tarun. While giving a statement to the inquiry commission led by former judge Mohanaraman Bhattarai, Vaidya had admitted that she had taken the money to 'run the organization's expenses'. But that amount was not deposited in the coffers of the organization. On the other hand, Brihaspati went to the Supreme Court saying that the contract of the land being occupied was unilaterally terminated.
Both parties reconciled in the court on June 21, 2072 and it was decided to give the land to Brihaspati at a cheap rent. During that time, it was agreed to extend the period of 43 years from 2088 to the end of the previous agreement, no rent increase for the last 8 years, during this period Jupiter will increase the assets of 52 crores, land can be leased and 'sub-leased' and within 6 months, the children's organization will build a 2-room building. Brihaspati has widened the road by breaking down the wall from inside the main entrance of Bal Mandir.
Jupiter mortgaged the land on August 26, 2075 for 30 million rupees to be repaid within 10 years, and on October 1, Bank of Kathmandu took a renewable loan of 1 million 33 million rupees for 1 year.
Vidya, who has been the president for nearly three decades, was dismissed by the government led by KP Sharma Oli in 2077 and Vidya Neupane was appointed. The organization had sent a letter to the CIB on April 14 last year, demanding an investigation into land embezzlement. On the same day, the organization canceled the lease agreement with Brihaspati. When Brihaspati went to Patan High Court against it, both parties were trying to resolve the dispute through 'arbitration' and not to go to trial.
Out of the land owned by the Children's Organization, 5 Ropani's rights have been given to the Central Deaf Secondary School. Investigation has revealed that 2 Ropani is being used for vehicle parking by the authority.
After the expansion of the pool in the structure of the Metropolitan Police Circle Kamalpokhari, the circle was transferred to the 5 ropani area of the Bal Mandir complex. More than 50 ropani land has been given usufruct to Nepal Lalitkala Pragya Foundation. The office of the institute is inside. The 4 ropani 2 annas land under Lot No. 760 is being used free of cost by the Nutrition Program run by the Ministry of Education.
