12 Indians among 26 held in Nepal gem scandal
Nepal Police today claimed to have busted a multi-crore international gems scam by arresting 26 people, including a dozen Indians involved in cheating foreign tourists for decades by trapping them to pay money through their credit cards.
A dozen Indian nationals including Nuri Khan from Agra, Pappu Singh from Madhya Pradesh, Santosh Tiwari from Bhopal, Rajiv Narayan from Jaypur and Anil Baliya from Rajasthan were arrested from the gems scam that has from Thailand to India and finally to Nepal, the police said.
There were at least seven groups involved in the gems scam in which foreign tourists are cheated in the name of trading gems and they end up without delivering any goods but their credit cards were cashed in a dramatic way, said Superintendent of Police Nawaraj Silwal.
They will even produce fake custom officers, fake courier documents and make fake acts of going through all the legal processes to deliver the gems to the homes of the tourists. They even pack the gems in their presence through the courier but after the tourist is out the agents go to the courier and get back the packet.
The tourists thought that they have purchased gems and paid the money through their credit cards, but in fact, all the documents including the courier papers turn out to be fake and they will get nothing in return for their money.
