The Kathmandu District Court has ordered various defendants, including former government officials, to pay Rs 153.8 million in compensation to victims of a massive scam that falsely promised Nepalis resettlement in the United States as Bhutanese refugees. Despite this ruling, 53 of the 112 complainants will receive no compensation, and the court failed to identify who was responsible for forging the official government documents central to the fraud.
