The main accused of smuggling of 33 kilograms of gold and murder of Sanam Shakya has been arrested. Chuda Mani Uprety, aka Gore, has been arrested in India, according to a member of the probe committee formed by the Home Ministry. He has been brought to Kathmandu Tuesday morning after his arrest on Monday. The Home Ministry will soon make Gore public holding a press conference. 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 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 concluded that the gang of Chuda Mani Uprety, aka Gore, smuggled 3,799.559 kilograms of gold in the past five years.
