Helpless victims of cooperative fraud await justice

Sandhya Sharma had been saving money in a cooperative for three years without her husband’s knowledge. Her husband, a bus driver at Sajha Yatayat , always gave her money for lunch and miscellaneous expenses. She would collect the Rs 100 given to her and save it and deposit it at Prosperous Savings and Credit Cooperative Ltd close to her home in Pepsicola in Kathmandu.

She started collecting and saving when she was pregnant, hoping for a better future. She sacrificed many lunches and cravings to make sure she could send her kids to a good school in Kathmandu without having to rely on anyone.
