Rautahat, March 28

Police have begun investigation against Ram Kripal Raya Yadav, 22, of Pipara Pokhariya VDC of Rautahat, for his involvement in swindling local youths.

A police team deployed from Garuda Area Police Office had arrested Yadav from Mathur Chowk of Garuda Municipality for tricking local youths by promising them jobs in different mobile companies of India on Saturday night.
