Police on Friday arrested singer Prakash Ojha, who was absconding after being convicted of paedophilia, from Shankhamul of Kathmandu. The Supreme Court on January 17 had convicted him of two human trafficking cases and handed down a five-year sentence for each. A team deployed from the Central Investigation Bureau of Nepal Police had nabbed him while he was engaged in the recording of some songs in disguise from Shankhamul area of the Capital. The Court had made the verdicts in answer to the appeals registered against the decisions in the then Biratnagar Appellate Court, which had acquitted him of the crime. The apex court had observed that Ojha (now 43), a permanent resident of Itahari-4 in Sunsari district, had forced three minor girls to have unnatural sexual contacts with him for two years since 2002.
