Kathmandu: The Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) of the Nepal Police has apprehended a fugitive who had been convicted in 14 separate cases involving banking offences and cheque bounce.
The individual had been at large since the court issued its verdict, evading the legal penalties imposed for his financial crimes.
The arrested person has been identified as 47-year-old Raju Mijar, a resident of Budhanilkantha Municipality-5 and originally from the former Bishnu VDC in Kathmandu. According to Superintendent of Police Yogendra Kumar Khadka, the Bureau’s Deputy Spokesperson, a specialized team from the CIB tracked down and arrested Mijar in the Dhumbarahi area of Kathmandu on June 8.
Mijar was the subject of a massive legal crackdown, facing 12 counts of banking offences and two counts of cheque bounce at the Kathmandu District Court. Following the conclusion of these trials, the court ordered him to pay a principal claim amount of over 258.62 million rupees. Additionally, he was slapped with a fine exceeding 4.32 million rupees and directed to provide nearly 173,000 rupees in compensation to the victims.
In addition to the heavy financial penalties, the court had sentenced Mijar to 90 days in prison. Following his arrest, the CIB presented him before the Kathmandu District Court to initiate the formal execution of the judicial sentence and ensure the recovery of the mandated fines and compensation.
