Amala Rocca of Rolpa, accused of smuggling gold in collaboration with a Chinese organized gang, has been released on a bond of Rs 2 lakh. On Monday, District Court Kathmandu ordered Roka, the defendant in the case of about 61 kg of gold, which was smuggled into the country, to be released on a bond of 2 lakhs.
After the bail order, she was released after paying the required bond. Soon after that, a team of the Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) of the police arrested him for investigation in the money laundering case and handed him over to the Money Laundering Investigation Department. The department also released Roka to normal attendance on Monday.
CIB's SSP Hovindra Bogti said that 'a letter was received from the department saying that if she is released from court, Amala Roka was taken into custody and handed over to the department immediately after she was released on bail'. After that, the department issued the usual documents and released Roka on Monday.
Roka, who is also the former vice-president of the Rolpa-Kathmandu contact platform close to the Maoists, was arrested on June 6 by the Central Investigation Bureau of the Police from Tokha in Kathmandu and handed over to the district court in Kathmandu.
The police investigation showed that Amla was involved in the smuggling case of around 61 kg of gold which was smuggled through Tribhuvan International Airport in a vape device and recovered from Sinamangal on 2nd July 2080.
She absconded after the investigation of gold smuggled in Vape started. After the investigation of gold started, she stayed at the house of former Vice President Nanda Bahadur Pun and ran away from there. After that, she reached India but was not arrested even though it was revealed by the investigation.
Last time, Roka was found hiding in a relative's house in Kathmandu. After he absconded during the investigation, CIB issued a diffusion notice through Interpol and searched him. Roka is the wife of Dawa Chiring, a Belgian national of Chinese origin, who is involved in smuggling gold. In the case of gold smuggling, Dawa Chiring is in jail pending trial according to the court's order.
While Amala Roka was absconding, based on the CIB's investigation, District Public Prosecutor's Office Kathmandu filed a case on 31 August 2080 with 31 billion rupees 350 million 91 thousand 975 rupees as defendants. Dawa Chiring was initially revealed by the investigation of how he entered Nepal as a Tibetan refugee and then married Rokka and ran a gold smuggling business.
At the same time, it was revealed that the former Vice President Nanda Bahadur Pun (currently Maoist Vice President) and the Maoist leader Varshman Pun's family were running the smuggling business under the same guise through Dawa Chiring Rokka. It was also found that Rokka opened the Vienna Hotel and other companies in Thamel and invested the money earned from the smuggled gold.
Dawa Chiring's partner, another gold smuggler Dawa Jin Wang, was connected with the family of Maoist Vice President Krishna Bahadur Mahara . Along with this network, Rokka escaped after the family of the influential Maoist leaders joined the smuggler's business.
