— विशेष अदालत, काठमाडौं
The Special Court has ordered the pre-trial detention of businessmen Deepak Bhatt and Sulabh Agarwal in connection with money laundering and organized financial irregularities in the securities market.
A joint bench led by Judge Sudarshan Dev Bhatt, along with member judges Umesh Koirala and Bidur Koirala, issued the detention order on Wednesday after completing the statement recording and detention hearing of both defendants.
Key Allegations
The charge sheet filed by the Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA) and investigative agencies contains serious accusations including:
Misuse of funds and investments from multiple insurance companies
Artificially manipulating stock market prices through organized group trading
Conducting transactions through Broker No. 55 to influence market prices
Using Sourya Cement's IP address to carry out trades
Adopting "Beneficial Ownership Concealment" to hide the identity of real beneficiaries
Using the "Layering" method to disguise illegally obtained funds as legitimate money
Billions in Claims
The financial claims against the two defendants are staggering:
Against Deepak Bhatt — Rs. 26 billion 63 crore 27 lakh (approx. Rs. 26.63 billion)
Against Sulabh Agarwal — Rs. 25 billion 59 crore 20 lakh (approx. Rs. 25.59 billion)
One of Nepal's Biggest Financial Cases
Involving insurance fund misuse, artificial stock market manipulation, organized trading fraud, and money laundering, this case has become one of the most high-profile and largest financial investigations in Nepal's recent history.
With the detention order now in place, the case will proceed to further hearings and evidence examination. However, a final verdict on guilt or innocence of the defendants is yet to be delivered by the court.
