Nepal, March 18 -- The police arrested a truck driver at Jhor in Tokha Municipality on the northern outskirts of Kathmandu on Monday night, on the charge of transporting a large sum of foreign currency.

After receiving a tip off, a team from the Kathmandu Valley Crime Investigation Office apprehended 43-year-old Kushang Lama, originally from Bhotekoshi Rural Municipality, Sindhupalchowk, and seized a truck (Na 7 Kha 1652) along with a hidden stash of foreign currency. Lama had been residing in a rented house in Gokarna, Kathmandu, prior to his arrest.

His mother owns the truck. Before placing the foreign currency inside the truck, he kept the vehicle in a garage for 20 days to paint it and to give it a new look.
