RSP files proposal of public importance demanding investigation into gold smuggling

The Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) on Wednesday registered a proposal of public importance at the House of Representatives demanding fair investigation into the 100 kg gold smuggling case.

Party lawmakers along with President Rabi Lamichhane on behalf of the RSP filed a resolution proposal at the Parliament this afternoon.

In the proposal, the party said that the government should be accountable on the issue of gold smuggling and the Home Minister should answer in the Parliament.

The RSP has demanded that the government should study and investigate from the point of criminology that why criminals are easily using Nepal as a transit hub for gold smuggling.

Earlier on Wednesday, the Revenue Investigation Department had recovered 100 kg gold, passed undetected from the customs office of the Tribhuvan International Airport, from Sinamangal.

Police have already arrested 16 persons for their alleged involvement in the gold smuggling.
