The land inside the main compound had come under the possession of the heart center. Of the land on the south side, 10 ropanis went to the name of the then champion shoe factory.' This is how this scandal surfaced.
In this case, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CIB) has already arrested the industrialist Arun Chaudhary and the then Executive Chairman of the Bansbari Leather and Shoe Factory, Ajit Narayan Singh Thapa.
