Man Arrested in Sindhuli with USD 5,700 of Undisclosed Source

Police in Sindhuli have arrested a man found carrying USD 5,700 whose source could not be verified. Authorities say the arrest was part of routine monitoring to prevent illegal financial activities and ensure compliance with currency regulations.

The suspect is currently under investigation, and police are working to trace the origin of the funds. Officials emphasized that carrying large amounts of foreign currency without proper documentation is considered illegal under Nepalese law, and such cases are treated seriously to prevent money laundering and other financial crimes.

Authorities have urged the public to declare foreign currency during travel and financial transactions to avoid legal issues. The investigation in Sindhuli continues as police determine whether further legal action or charges will be filed against the individual.
