No one has paid the hotel bill of Rs 57,000. For seven months, when the staff of the resort asked, the intermediary lama would show them to the then head of Kaski Malpot, Ramchandra Adhikari, and the adhikari has been asking them to pick him up with the lama. The hotel did not reach the minister and ex-minister who were staying as guests.
Last year on December 23, there was an exchange of information between the security personnel in Kaski district - "The arrival of Nepal Government Federal Affairs and General Administration Minister Rajkumar Gupta, ex-minister and chairman of Civil Liberation Party Ranjita Shrestha will be held at Varpeople Resort in Pokhara Metropolitan City-6 Lakeside and will stay at the same resort. And, administration minister Rajkumar Gupta has a local level interaction program tomorrow at Hotel Landmark located in Pokhara-6.
Ministers and ex-ministers of the country moving out of the capital is not new and unusual. But the planners who invited these two leaders of different parties to Pokhara were land mafia. Even though the interaction of the local level was also kept, their main plan was to look at 134 ropani land in Batulechaur where there is a litchi plantation. The middleman Sujan Lama, who is in the process of grabbing the same land, had booked the hotel.
A local security source says, "Nobody has paid the hotel bill of Rs 57,000." For seven months, the resort staff have been asking the intermediary lama to show them to the then head of Kaski Malpot, Ramchandra Adhikari, and the adhikari has been asking them to pick him up with the lama. The hotel did not reach the minister and former minister.'
A month after returning from Pokhara, Gupta and Shrestha along with Lama discussed the bribe transaction again. The intermediary lama reminded Minister Gupta of Pokhara's situation by saying, "The land of Pokhara is sitting staring at us, Minister, why are we sitting here like this?"
When Shrestha was the Minister of Land Management, Cooperatives and Poverty Alleviation, the middleman Lama took the initiative to register the land. Shrestha was a minister from 17 Chait 2079 to 21 February 2080. Ramchandra Adhikari was the head of Kaski Malpot since December 2079. Lama had initiated all the procedures with the connivance of the
officer. Meanwhile, the officer was transferred to Baglung on 24 November 2080. But after the transfer, he barely got a break in the middleman's initiative. Chiranjeevi Paudel, who became the head of Kaski Malport Office for one day, then went to become the head of Lamjung Malport.
The then Secretary of the Ministry, Gokarnamani Duwadi, pointed to Minister Shrestha and said that he had to transfer Paudel to another place two days after he was transferred to Kaski because he could not withstand the pressure from 'above'. Again on 21 December 2081, the officer was transferred to Lamjung. Poudel who was in Lamjung came to Kaski. Even after the transfer, the officer filed a petition in the Patan High Court demanding a 'stay order' saying that the two-year period had not been completed. The court did not issue a 'stay order' saying that it had been two years since it was connected with Kaj.
Even in the audio dialogue in which the middleman Lama 'dealt' with Gupta to initiate the appointment of UML leader Khem Bahadur Pun as the chairman of Land Commission Kaski, it is heard that Shrestha pressured Gupta to tell the current Land Management Minister Balram Adhikari to act quickly. The gang with the intermediary lama tried to bring back the official who was currently in Lamjung by making him the head of Kaski's property. Lama was active in this.
Lama claims that he does not know Ranjita Shrestha personally. Regarding his stay at Warpeople Resort on 23rd December 2081 with Shrestha and Gupta, he says, 'I am going to swim in the resort, I have not met them.' He reiterated that he was deceived by misuse of AI technology. He also said that Shrestha and Gupta were taken to show the land and it was only an accusation.
The middleman Lama has been taking initiatives with the connivance of Shrestha, Gupta and officials to make a 'big financial trick' by bringing the land, which has been owned and paid tiro by the locals for 60 years, in the name of Suraj Shah Thakuri, Sunil Shah Thakuri, Bhimsen Thakuri and Geeta Devi Thakuri.
The Thakuri family has been alleging that the land given by King Mahendra to his grandmother Durgadevi Shah was fraudulently registered in their name by another person. In 2028, 2031 and 2040, the district, regional court and western division bench had defeated six people including the opponent Hariprata Jang Rana and ruled in favor of Shah.
However, according to the court's decision, the 25th, 26th and 28th lots which are supposed to be brought in the name of Durgadevi Shah cannot be ascertained, according to the conclusion of the Surveyor and Land Port Office. Thakali, who descended from Mustang, purchased the said land in writing since 2017 and after the survey of 2032, the land owner has taken out the evidence. Some of the land has been sold many times and has been renamed. Durga Devi passed away in 2059.
40 years after the judgment of the case, his grandchildren applied for the execution of the judgment on 24th January 2080. In the said application, the request is to cancel the registration of the land number 25, 26 and 28 within the 4 lots mentioned in the court's decision and get the land owner evidence.
On the same day Durgadevi's grandchildren applied for the property, it seems that if the land is registered on 24th March 2080, the agreement will be divided between the middleman and the established rights holders. In the agreement registered at the ward office of Pokhara-16, it is mentioned that Dev Bahadur Malla and Yamakumari Gurung of Syangja will bear all the expenses incurred during the registration of the land.
It is mentioned that Geethadevi, Suraj and Sunil Thakuri will get 33 percent of the land if they succeed in registering the agreement. Similarly, the remaining 40 percent will be given to Yamakumari Gurung and 27 percent to Dev Bahadur Malla. Suraj Lama, the middleman, has signed the contract as a witness.
Petitioner Suraj Thakuri said that in the past he had lost his land due to the bullying of the staff of the Malport office and now he is trying to get it back. "How was the land where the case is being bought and sold?," he said, "We have been wronged, we are looking for legal remedies."
On the other hand, the locals who have been living in Lalpurja submitted a memorandum to the Land Office and the District Administration Office on 16 Baisakh saying that the middlemen are trying to grab the land in their own name including Lalpurja. In the memorandum with the signatures of 34 local people, it is mentioned that they have been enjoying their rights for a long time, the land owner also has evidence and that unknown and suspicious people come and threaten the land where they are living. It is said in the memorandum, "Though we are the petitioner's own property, it is suspected that they will make us homeless by manipulating internally."
