Cases of banking offenses have increased sharply in recent months. According to the Kathmandu District Public Prosecutor's Office, the police have forwarded 2,651 cases of banking offense to the Public Prosecutor's Office from June 27 to November 16.

The data shows that more than 20 complaints are filed daily seeking justice in banking offence cases. Government employees expect more cases to be filed in coming days as the figures of last month were less than anticipated due to lots of public holidays between June 27 to November 16.

The situation of banking offense seems alarming if the figures from across the country are taken into consideration. Concerned officials say that even though cases of banking offense started appearing 8 to 10 years ago, they started to increase from the fiscal year 2079/80 and have peaked recently.
