Another audio has been released in which it is claimed that Land Management Minister Balram Adhikari accepted a bribe of Rs. It has been claimed in the audio that the official took the bribe money in the minister's quarters through the intermediary Sujan Lama, who is also a local leader of UML.

In the audio released on Wednesday, it is said that the minister's son Manoj, the then secretary of the Ministry of Land Management, Arjun Pokharel was also involved in the bribe transaction and 'setting'. In the audio of the dialogue between the middleman Lama and various people, it is mentioned that the then Secretary Pokharel accepted a bribe of five lakhs. The voice of the people who are said to have accepted the bribe is not heard in the audio.  In the

audio, the middleman Lama said that 1.5 million was spent on the bribes taken by the then Federal Affairs and General Administration Minister Rajkumar Gupta, Land Management Minister Adhikari, Secretary Pokharel, etc. In the audio, Lama's statement that the Minister of Land Management Adhikari found the money in the zebra's bag through Ramchandra Adhikari, the head of the Land Port Office Kaski. 

``Ramchandra was given 32 lakh rupees in a zebra bag, noting all the note numbers. He took it and explained it. I will make the trust to Manoj. Manoj is a friend, Manoj confirmed, said yes. I know that Ramachandra explained it because I myself was on the bike. Sent him in, I was out. He came empty out of the ministerial quarters. He may not have hidden it in the corridors of the minister's quarters,' Lama is heard saying in the audio. 

Manoj, who lives in New Zealand, is currently in Nepal and has been accused in the audio of being involved in the 'setting' of bribery. It is said that he came to Nepal after his father became a minister. It is said in the audio that a middleman group including Prakash Dahal, Aryan Sharma and others influenced Minister Adhikari and his son Manoj when they reached Pokhara and transferred the head of the Customs Office, Ramchandra Adhikari, by manipulating money. Ramchandra was transferred from Kaski to Lamjung.  In the

audio, the intermediary lama claims to have met the ministerial official. I had a meeting with the land minister yesterday. Why didn't you come earlier? I only heard your name Sujan brother, you are close to all my brothers, you are like my family, why didn't you come to meet me first? The minister told me in front of Anil Marasini that if you had taken the stand of Khem Pun or Khem Pun, if you had said this five days ago, I would have done it to Khem Pun,' Lama said in the audio. 

UML's local leader Khem Bahadur Pun was appointed as the Chairman of the Land Problem Resolution Commission Kaski by the middleman Lama who spoke to the then Federal Affairs and General Administration Minister Rajkumar Gupta. Ranjita Shrestha, Member of Parliament, who was also the Minister of Eastern Affairs and the Chairperson of Civil Liberation Party, also participated in the discussion at that time.
