Ramjali, the owner of the hotel, was involved in making fake bills by giving a blank bill to the accountant officer. It is mentioned in the press note issued by the CIAA that the charge sheet was filed at the Special Court in Kathmandu because it was seen that he helped Accountant Budha to pay the money for the meeting of the experts’ group, the meeting of the examination committee and the meeting of the education committee.
