  • CBI is expected to prepare a dossier on Kumar, in the form of a chargesheet, which will be produced before the court in Nepal on Sunday. Nepalese authorities are also expected to charge him with possessing foreign currency beyond legal limit.

    When Kumar was nabbed from a jungle resort at Chitwan, near the Indo-Nepal border, on Saturday, he was found to be carrying bank drafts of more than nine lakh in Indian currency, over one lakh in Euros and US$ 18,900 in cash.

    Sources said while efforts will be made to get Kumar at the earliest, the judicial procedure in Nepal may take more time than expected -- anything between a week to a month. Both the CBI and Haryana police teams are scheduled to leave for Nepal to bring him to India once the extradition process is completed.

    Certain sections of the Nepalese media have been linking Kumar to a kidney racket in Kathmandu as well. However, the nephrology society of Nepal has denied Kumar's association with any of the private hospitals saying “Only Bir Hospital (government hospital) in Kathmandu is legally permitted to transplant kidney and no other hospitals have the equipment and right for that”.
