KAPILVASTU, May 20: Police on Monday arrested a man in Kapilvastu district on the charge of swindling two youths with a promise of getting them into the Nepal Police.



Police have arrested Dilip Kumar BK, 33, of Bhariyatol in the district, according to Area Police Office (APO) in Gorusinghe.



Police inspector at the APO, Bimal Kumar Upadhyaya, informed that the arrested man has been accused of swindling Rs 1, 00,000 from Prakash BK and Asha BK of Hansapur VDC in Pyuthan. After getting the money from then, BK had even provided the two with fake job appointment letters.



“We have arrested him following a complaint from the victims,” said Upadhyaya.



BK has taken Rs 50,000 each from the two.



Preliminary investigation of the police has shown that BK had printed out the fake appointment letters from the Western Regional Police Training Center at Butwal some seven years ago.
