The Embassy of Nepal in New Delhi has expressed gratitude to the Uttar Pradesh Police for rescuing 453 Nepalese citizens from an international fraud syndicate in Kushinagar, according to the Hindustan Times.

Ten members of the gang, including eight men and two women, were arrested. The arrested individuals include Nepali nationals Deepak Thapa, Om Prakash Chaulagai, Nima Sherpa, Ganesh Khatri, Sojanya Santan, Gyanendra Yadav, and Vishal Tamang, along with Sarvesh Pratap Rao of Parsouna.
