September 3: Police have arrested three Nepalis and one more Chinese national in connection to Saturday’s ATM hacking in Kathmandu. The Chinese hackers were found to have exchanged up to Rs 3 million from Thamel-based Desko Money Exchange and Nepal Money Exchange after the heist.

Police arrested the operator of Desko Money Exchange Devnath Lamichhane, operator of Nepal Money Exchange Roshan Pradhan Shrestha and manager Rewati Dawadi for illegal exchange of currency.

They had exchanged Rs 299,000 and handed over US$ 25,862 to the Chinese hackers.

Meanwhile, police on Sunday evening arrested one of the Chinese hackers Su Luk Lee who was on the run after the incident. Police had arrested him from the Tribhuvan International Airport with US$ 6000.

The Metropolitan Police Range has charged them under the banking offence law. Patan High Court has granted police the permission to remand them in custody for two more days to carry out necessary investigations.

Chinese hackers had withdrawn Rs 176 million from several ATMs in the capital using cloned VISA cards. One of them was caught red-handed under suspicion, which led to other arrests.
