New data about the ongoing investigation into a recent VOIP racketeering case has been brought. From October 13 to October 15 (only in 36 hours) Nepal Telecom had lost Rs 16.3 million because of a covert racket managed from Thailand. The racket has used only four NT post-paid SIM-cards with an international roaming service worth Rs 30, 000.
Authorities stated that “the case has turned out to be the fastest colossal call by-pass fraud ever meted out to Nepal Telecom”.
"If one and a half day could bleed NT that much, the total loss figure will be much higher than expected or declared," stated an official investigator of Nepal Police who has expertise in anti-VOIP operations. –“NT has not furnished new figures since last year when it said the company was losing Rs 600 million per annum due to illegal VOIP rackets”.
NT hasn’t demonstrated any inclination to open the fluctuating figures accredited to illegal VOIP bleeding because of its failure to curb irregularities among its own staffers – commented some people close to NT. Officials from company didn’t make official statements.
