Kathmandu : Sanjeev Gurung (Pinky, Sheetal), President of Blue Diamond Society, a non-governmental organisation advocating for the rights of sexual and gender minorities, has faced accusations of misappropriating thousands of rupees in the name of hydropower shares. <\/p>\n
She has been accused of collecting money from BDS members under the pretext of investing in a hydropower company called Bibeksheel Aadarsha Investment Company Pvt. Ltd. established back in 2017. <\/p>\n
She reportedly collected money ranging from Rs 11,000 to Rs 200,000 from each of the victims by promising them shares in the company and a double return on their investment if they purchased 100 units of share each. <\/p>\n
The company was reportedly constructing a hydropower at Dhunche in Rasuwa district. <\/p>\n
However, the victims said that they have not received any shares or got their money returned. <\/p>\n
When asked for returning money, Gurung took their citizenship cards and passport sized photos saying they meant for the necessary process, they said. <\/p>\n
“But we doubt the potential misuse of our citizenship cards.” Rather they received threats from Gurung if they spoke up about the missing funds, they claimed. <\/p>\n
Demanding the return of their money and action against the guilty, they said that they were preparing to file a police complaint.<\/p>\n
