KATHMANDU, Nov 18: The police arrested two persons for allegedly threatening daughter of ex-king Gyanendra Shah, Prerana, over phone demanding Rs 10 million.
Pratiksha Ratna Shah, 27, Dang, who is also a personal secretary to the former princess, and her fiancé Rajesh Hamal, 30, Rukum, had SMSed Prerana twice over the last seven days. A team from Metropolitan Crime Division Office (MCDO) had nabbed them from Gopikrishna Theater, Chabahil, on Monday.
According to MCDO chief Senior Superintendent of Police Jay Bahadur Chand, a kidnapping case has been lodged against them. The case has been handed over to Metropolitan Police Range Kathmandu for prosecution.
Rajesh had sent the first SMS to Prerana seven days ago, which read “If you want to save your husband and son, send Rs 10 million through your personal secretary to Godavari.” On Sunday, Rajesh sent another SMS reminding her of the first saying, “Do you not really care about the lives of your husband and son?”
Police had tracked Rajesh following his calls to other numbers. The couple were located and arrested after nabbing a relative of Rajesh in Nepalgunj.
