Cases will be filed at the Morang District Court on Wednesday against 28 arrested on charge of smuggling of 33 kilograms of gold and murder of Sanam Shakya, and a few others. The District Attorney Office is preparing to lodge case of organized crime and murder against a few arrested persons and Chuda Mani, aka Gore, known as the owner of the smuggled gold. The police have already submitted the investigation file to the District Attorney Office. The issue of 33 kilograms of gold smuggled through the Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA) on January 23 came to the fore after the body of Sanam Shakya of Urlabari, who died while being tortured on charge of stealing that gold, was recovered in Biratnagar on March 2. The probe committee formed under Joint Secretary at the Home Ministry Ishwor Raj Paudel has arrested 28 persons including six police personnel in connection with the case.
