Kathmandu, March 17: Three persons were arrested in Rasuwa on Thursday along with seven kilogrammes of gold brought illegally into Nepal from China.
Based on a tip-off from Chief District Officer Chomendra Neupane, a search of a jeep (Ba.17.Cha.2275) that was passing through Rasuwa found the yellow metal concealed inside the air filter compartment of the jeep, according to the Area Police Office Timure.
Three people including Prakash Gaire, the owner and driver of the jeep from Syangja were arrested, CDO Neupane said. Further investigation is underway.
Since the closure of the Tatopani customs in Sindhupalchowk, smuggling of gold from China through the Rasuwagadhi transit point is reportedly on the rise. RSS
