Biratnagar, August 29

It has come to light that a networking business operated from India’s Motihari is swindling Nepali youths.

Agents of the networking business target unemployed youths and take them to Motihari promising good jobs.

The networking scam was exposed after Birkha Bahadur Darji from Sundarharaicha, Morang, went to the District Administration Office saying that he was being swindled.

Darji’s acquaintance Dipa Biswokarma had connected Darji to the networking business run by Iconic Trademark Private Limited promising him to a job paying IRS 40,000 per month in India. Darji has been visiting the DAO saying that the company had swindled Rs 2.5 lakh from him.

With a promise to give him a job, Dipa had taken Darji to Iconic Trademark Private Limited in India. Tempted by a lucrative job, Darji had deposited Rs 2.25 lakh through Dipa.  After he was not provided the job as promised and Dipa too started scolding him, Darji started visiting the DAO seeking justice.

After DAO, Morang issued an arrest warrant, Police office Haraicha arrested Dipa and managed to work out an agreement, according to which Dipa would return the money within a month.

In the first place, Birkha paid Rs 15,000 for training. Later, he was asked to pay Rs 2.10 lakh as collateral. After he handed the money, Darji realised that he had been swindled. He had given the money almost a year ago.

Darji visited Motihari repeatedly for training. After he received the training, Darji was asked to make another member like him and he would be paid commission from the new member’s fee. He had returned home after he was threatened with life as he told them he could not add a new member to the network.

Helem Reshmi Magar and Sanjay Reshmi Magar are running Iconic Trademark on the pretext of selling clothes and mobile phones in Motihari of India.
