KATHMANDU: Convicted for his alleged involvement in the Fake Bhutanese Refugee Scam, Former Home Minister and Nepali Congress leader Bal Krishna Khand has been complaining to the Ministers, Chief Ministers, and high-ranking officials of being framed in the case.

Khand expressed his dissatisfaction to the leadership in front of the leaders who reached the Central Jail in Sundhara to meet him.

On Thursday morning, Foreign Minister NP Saud reached the Central Jail and spoke with Khand. On Wednesday, the Chief Minister of Lumbini Province, Dilli Choudhary, visited Khand at the Central Jail and met him.

According to NC sources, Khand has been pleading innocent to the NC leaders.
