Indian Astrologer in Nepal prisons

In Dillibazar jail in the capital Of Nepal, Katmandu, an Indian astrologer languishes on allegations of fraud. Dattatreya Joshi, who was doing thriving business from Vaishali hotel in Kathmandu’s tourist hub Thamel, used to advertise in Nepali dailies and television as well. The statistics, however, throw light only on the Indian male prisoners. While a lone Indian woman Putali Devi Shrivasta is currently in the central jail on a drug-smuggling charge, there is little information available about Indian women being held in prisons in the outer districts.
