India detains Nepali man tied to 2022 Nepal crypto probe over alleged passport fraud

  • —Khadka was intercepted at Lucknow airport on Wednesday before a flight to Sharjah
  • —Police filed a case citing forgery, passport fraud and immigration violations
  • —Khadka and three relatives were named in Nepal's 2022 DRI crypto probe
  • —Reports do not establish a link between the Indian and Nepali cases
Why it matters: The case highlights how crypto investigations in South Asia can intersect with immigration and document fraud, though no direct link between the two probes has been established.
