The APF headquarters has installed CCTV cameras at the Gaur Customs Office to increase surveillance. As soon as SP Karki reached Kathmandu to receive the award after the internal evaluation was over, the CCTV footage of APF officers on duty of the battalion taking a bribe was leaked and the award was taken away.
Senior Head Constable Matrika Prasad Yadav and Constable Vivek Singh were caught on camera receiving money from smugglers while on duty. There is a BOP office of the Armed Police Force at Gaur Customs. Although Yadav and Singh were found to have accepted the bribe while chief of the APF office, Inspector Maheshwor Giri was on leave, the APF headquarters has recalled Inspector Giri, Senior Head Constable Yadav and Constable Singh to the APF headquarters.
