The District Attorney Office, Kathmandu, is making the final preparations to file the cases in the court on fake Bhutanese refugees scam.

An eight-member committee formed for the prosecution is preparing the charge-sheet after studying the report submitted by the Nepal Police on Monday, Chief of the District Attorney Office, Kathmandu, Achyutmani Neupane said.

"We are studying to register the case on Wednesday. The prosecution could be lodged by making some changes on police comments. We cannot say what exactly it will be as it is under the study phase," he added.

The case should be registered by Wednesday, the 60th day of the arrest of the accused.

The police on Monday had submitted its investigation report on the accusations of duping hundreds of Nepalis by promising them to send the United States by making fake Bhutanese refugees.
