Kathmandu: Nepali police have arrested nine Chinese people for their alleged involvement in online fraud, media reports said.
Police also arrested 10 Nepali nationals for their alleged involvement in helping them.
Police told The Kathmandu Post this time they have strong evidence to file an online fraud case.
Earlier, the police would be short of evidence as they would be found to be running a call centre or doing some other legitimate activities, Senior Superintendent of Police Manoj KC, who is also an incharge at the Valley Crime Investigation Office, Minbhawa, told the newspaper. But this time we have enough evidence.
KC told the newspaper that 19 people were arrested from three different places in KathmanduBudhanilkantha, Golfutar and Chandolafter a victim lodged a complaint at the office at the end of February.
They were found duping Nepalis of money from their illegal offices in the Valley, KC said. Through these offices, they ran online classes called Operation Teacher over Telegram.
