<p>Laura Nuttall, a 23-year-old cancer patient from England, died a happy soul on Monday. She was diagnosed with deadly brain cancer in 2018 and was given an initial prognosis of 12 months. Instead of being dejected and negative about her condition, she takes the wheels of her life and drives through the forest of despair with positivity and happiness.&nbsp;</p>

<p>A terminal cancer diagnosis did not stop her from ticking off an impressive bucket list before her death on May 24. She was told by the doctors in 2018 that she had only 12 months to live.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Ten people have contacted the Nepal police citing they were fleeced of Rs 51.9 million under the pretext of taking them to the United States and registering them as Bhutanese refugees. This came a week after when Nepal Police arrested absconding lawmaker Bahadur Rayamajhi from the outskirts of Kathmandu in a fake Bhutanese refugee scam.</p>

<p>The scam has sent shockwaves throughout the country, exposing a sophisticated network of corruption and deception involving political leaders.&nbsp;</p>

<p>So far 113 people have come in contact with the Nepal Police who have registered complaints identifying the cheaters claiming they have been cheated of more than Rs 50 million under this scam.&nbsp;</p>

<p>A report prepared by the District Police Range, Kathamandu, mentions that more than Rs 270 million of fraud has been committed by the people involved in this racket.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Initially, a complaint was lodged at the Kathmandu Valley Crime Investigation Office saying that Rs 130 million of fraud had been committed by 81 people.

<h2><strong>What is the Bhutanese Refugees Scam?</strong></h2>

<p>The Bhutanese Refugees Scam is a fraud scheme that lured over 800 people out of millions of rupees by giving them fictitious documents in the name of asylum seekers from Bhutan. These asylum seekers were qualified for resettlement in other countries. This complex plan was executed by a political-bureaucratic network with the help of several intermediaries.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Nepal’s history of Bhutanese refugees</strong>&nbsp;</h2>

<p>The tiny landlocked country in South Asia, Bhutan, has struggled for years with a refugee crisis. The government’s efforts to preserve Bhutanese culture led to the forcible eviction of thousands of Lhotshampas (individuals of Nepali heritage) from Bhutan in the late 1980s. These people applied for asylum in nearby nations, specifically Nepal, which took in the most Bhutanese refugees.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>How the scam was unveiled?</strong></h2>

<p>The Bhutanese Refugees Scam was unveiled when more than 160 victims claimed that a network had cheated them of a substantial amount of money while promising to furnish them with fraudulent credentials identifying them as refugees from Bhutan. These people were promised by the con artists that they would be qualified for repatriation to other nations, including the USA.&nbsp;</p>
