Lou was caught during a security check based on a tip-off, said DIG Bijaya Lal Kayastha, Chief of TIA security.
Although Lou claimed the amount was from her clothing business, there is not enough ground to substantiate her claim, Kayastha said, “She has not disclosed where the money came from and who gave it to her.” Investigation has been difficult as Lou speaks neither Nepali or English, he added.
Lou has been frequently travelling to Nepal for the past two years, DIG Kayastha said. “Her frequent travel to Nepal provides enough room for suspicion,” said Kayastha.
In 2014, Lou visited Nepal for 16 times and 12 times in the first quarter of 2015. Police have referred Lou to the Department of Revenue Investigation for further investigation and action.
