NEPAL-PM 2

India's concerns were conveyed afresh to the Nepalese
leadership, including the Prime Minister, by External Affairs
Minister S M Krishna during his visit here last week.

"We understand sensitivity of India," Nepal said.
When referred to a recent cases of fake Indian currency
rackets unearthed here with suspected links with ISI and
Indian underworld, he promised action, saying: "We will not
spare anyone who tramples law of the land and illegal
activities will not be permitted."
Five people, including a son of a senior politician and
former minister Yunus Ansari, have been arrested in Nepal for
allegedly being part of a drugs and fake Indian currency
racket, having connection to underworld don Dawood Ibrahim.
The police seized fake Indian currency with a face value
of Rs 2,544,500 of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 denominations.
Nepal, however, refused to share details of the case,
saying it was going through the legal processes.
"Anyone under doubt will have to go through the process
of law. Can't speak on the case, it is legal issue. Let law
take its course," Nepal said.
To a question, he suggested that Indian investigators
would not be allowed to question Ansari and others arrested.
"It is responsibility of Nepali law and Nepali agency.
India is well aware and understands," he said. (MORE) PTI AKK
