Police have intensified search for Pradeep Nakarmi, who misappropriated Rs. 43.5 million. He was assigned to deposit the amount collected from customers.
According to the preliminary investigation of the Telecom branch office, Nakarmi embezzled the money, making fake bank vouchers. He is a permanent resident of Biratnagar-14.
"The Telecom did not inform us on time, thus he is still escaping arrest," said Chief District Officer Sashi Shekhar Shrestha.
The Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority has also launched its preliminary probe into the incident.
Police are yet to discover whether the runaway accountant did it alone or others are also involved in the embezzlement.
