KATHMANDU, JANUARY 22
President of Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) Rabi Lamichhane has claimed that he has not received the amount from the sale of his 15 per cent share of Galaxy 4K TV after he quit the TV station.
RSP President Lamichhane, who is also the former Deputy Prime Minister, stated this during a news conference at the party's central office on Monday, refuting media reports about his involvement in the embezzlement of the cooperative's money. He argued that the reported Rs 18 million was not deposited into his bank account.
Lamichhane explained that he anticipated receiving a goodwill share of Galaxy 4K TV, which is run under the Gorkha Media Network. However, he asserted that he did not receive the amount, except for the activities carried out to integrate them into the system, as there is no provision for a goodwill share.
He stated, "A cheque of Rs 18 million was credited to my account on June 17, 2022, but the amount was not deposited into my account due to insufficient balance when the cheque was sent for clearing through electronic cheque clearing. This information is shared in the details provided by the bank.
