The Central Investigation Bureau of the Nepal Police has recommended issuing an Interpol red notice against two people in connection with the embezzlement of funds in the Lalitpur-based Miteri Saving and Credit Cooperative Society Limited.

The CIB has recommended to the Nepal Police Headquarters, to issue a red notice against Jyoti Gurung and Jyoti Bahadur Bhandari. Jyoti Gurung is the former wife of Nepali Congress Vice-president Dhanraj Gurung and has reportedly fled Nepal. Both women are accused of misappropriating the money of the Miteri Cooperative Society. Miteri Cooperative is an organisation started by retired servicemen from the British and Indian armies.

Red notices are issued for fugitives wanted either for prosecution or to serve a sentence for serious ordinary-law crimes such as murder, rape, and fraud.
