The Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) of Nepal Police arrested Kamal Bahadur Gauli, 32, of Purkot-5, Tanahun for his involvement in the kidnapping of Ram Prasad Nepal of Sudal-8, Bhaktapur in Malaysia.

Nepal was abducted from Kotraya in Malaysia by Gauli and his five other accomplices, including Malaysian and Nepali nationals, on May 18.

Gauli had then demanded Rs. 3 million as ransom from Nepal’s family members back here in Nepal.

Nepal was able to escape after the vehicle in which the kidnappers were transporting him met with an accident en route to the city from the village.

The Bureau has informed that a case of kidnapping and organised crime has been filed against Gauli, the mastermind behind the kidnapping, adding that further investigation into the case was underway.
