ATM fraud racket busted

KATHMANDU: Metropolitan Police Crime Division today arrested two brothers long involved in duplicating ATM cards and withdrawing hefty amounts from accounts.

The arrestees are identified Sabin Rimal (26) and Ritesh Rimal (22) of Kalikasthan, Kathmandu- 32. 

According to MPCD, the duo had managed to withdraw more than Rs 4.82 million by duplicating ATM cards issued by Nabil Bank in the Capital. 

“Preliminary investigation shows that Rimal brothers withdrew Rs 4,825,350 from the accounts of 12 depositors of Nabil Bank,” DSP AM Chandra Dhami informed. 

For this, they would go to a few ATM counters of the Himalayan Bank that were not fitted with surveillance camera to ‘keep their identity secret’.

It has been revealed that Sabin is a former employee at the ATM section of the central office of Nabil Bank in Durbar Marg where he worked for 17 months. 

“I stole pin numbers of ATM cards issued to depositors when I quit the job in the bank and operated the racket,” Sabin conceded. 

Police have seized 12 data encoding machines, an ID card printer, 24 laptop computers, a scanner, 16 discs, 73 blank ATM cards, 273 visa electronic cards of Nabil Bank, and a huge cache of Nabil master debit cards, Nabil local credit cards, Laxmi bank credit cards, Nabil Nari Bachat debit cards and Rs 334,500. 

The equipment were procured from Bangkok, the racketeers said. 

During interrogation, Rimal brothers said they were working in tandem with international hackers.

As we had told before, this is the debut play of actress Namrata Shrestha
he play features Anup Baral as Professor John. A student, weak in her studies, Carol is played by Shanti Giri whom the professor offers to teach in private. John tries to boost her confidence by he touching her on her shoulders, thighs and hugs her. The same student Carol in the second act is played by Namrata Shrestha, a stronger looking character. She charges being John sexist by analyzing his behavior and actions. In the third act, Diya Maskey, a stronger Carol abuses John, now jobless and without a house. At the end, it became too difficult for John to tolerate Carol and physically abuses her. In summary, all the actors justified their role by a strong presentation. Split role played by Shanti Giri, Namrata Shrestha, and Diya Maskey on the same character is in itself a new venture in theatrical presentation.

The play shows the sexual psychology of the 1980s / 1990s America. "Oleanna became an iconic treatment of the issue of sexual harassment and political correctness that gripped public attention in the United States of the 1990s." The producer of the play Mita Hosali, believes it still relevant in present day Nepal.

New domestic airport near Capital mulled


A dramatic surge in the movement of international and domestic aircraft at Tribhuvan International Airport has compelled the government to explore an alternative airport near Kathmandu to handle domestic carriers.
The Ministry of Tourism and Civil Aviation (MoTCA) has formally announced developing an alternative domestic airport either in Panchkhaal or Banepa.
“An initial survey conducted at both the sites has shown Nangidanda of Banepa more feasible,” said Tourism Minister Lokendra Bista Magar at a press meet here on Tuesday.
According to Bista, the proposed domestic airport will have 1,200-m runway and would be constructed at the appropriate site after the final survey is completed.
According to TIA officials, domestic airlines’ busy schedule, particularly mountain flights’, and increased flight frequency of international airlines have resulted in heavy traffic congestion at TIA. The country’s sole international airport is currently handling over 385 flights daily.
In a bid to reduce TIA’s traffic congestion and develop air transport infrastructure, the government is currently working on a second international airport and three regional international airports outside Kathmandu. The government is upgrading Gautam Buddha Airport, Bhairahawa, and Janakpur Airport as regional international airports, while a new regional international airport has been planned in Pokhara. The government also intends to start commercial operation of the second international airport in Nighgadh, Bara, within five years.
According to Bista, the government is planning to allocate over Rs 1 billion for upgradation of different airports in remote areas in the current fiscal year.
The ministry has also planned to install precision approach path indicator (PAPI) at Tumlingtar and Simikot airports and VOR/DME at Nepalgunj, Simira, and Gautam Buddha airports. Simira Airport will be upgraded for night facilities within two months.
Installing remote control air-to-ground network in the eastern region in order to ensure better communication facilities for aircraft are among the ministry’s plans. Initial work on installing new radar in Bhattedanda, Lalitpur will be started soon, Magar said.(Source:ekantipur)
