Kathmandu: A special probe committee formed to investigate the March 2 murder of Sanam Shakya and the disappearance of 33 kg smuggled gold has been unsuccessful in providing a key information: the whereabouts of the ‘lost’ yellow metal.
The committee, which conducted the investigation for four months and submitted a lengthy report yesterday, should have delved into the matter because the disappearance of 33 kg of gold was the main reason for Shakya’s murder. Instead, the committee has tried to sidestep this issue by stating that the core focus should be on curbing gold smuggling.
“The key issue is dismantling smuggling racket rather than spending time in search of disappeared gold,” a committee member said on condition of anonymity, adding, “Investigation into an organised crime is a complex process and it has neither beginning nor end point.”
The committee member said the ‘lost’ gold ‘may have been circulated in the market or smuggled to India’. The owner of the ‘lost’ gold was Mohan Kumar Agrawal, while Bimal Poddar, Raju Daruka, Bhujung Gurung and others were involved in its smuggling, sources said.
