KATHMANDU — Police have arrested 45-year-old Purushottam Bhandari from Bhimeshwar Municipality–8, Dolakha, for allegedly defrauding a victim by promising employment in New Zealand.

The arrest was made on Tuesday by a team from the Kathmandu Valley Crime Investigation Office. Bhandari has now been handed over to the Department of Foreign Employment in Tahachal, Kathmandu, for further investigation.
Authorities have urged the public to be cautious of fraudulent job offers abroad and verify opportunities through official channels.
