Gorkha Police has recovered 16 kilograms of gold hidden in a hillock. A team from Machhikhola Police Post recovered the gold kept in a sac among boulders around a kilometer above Khorlabesi in Dharche rural municipality 3. "Sixteen bars of gold hidden in a sac among boulders have been recovered," chief of the police post Assistant Sun-inspector Tulsi Ram Chaudhary told Setopati. "We have arrested one person, who had hidden the gold, from Kathmandu." Dhan Kamal Gurung of Chumnubri rural municipality showed the place where the gold was hidden after being arrested. Whether Gurung is gold smuggler or just a mule has yet to be revealed. Police have estimated that the gold brought from Tibet was hidden there before being taken to India. Machhikhola Police Post has sent Gurung and the recovered gold to District Police Office, Gorkha for further investigation.
