DELL, you were that gay dude weren't you.... Why lie now, you can come out of the closet now. In another note.. While Narahari Acharya is in Jail, IP is stolen In: Wagle Street Journal? Dinesh Wagle @ 4:02 pm A case of intellectual property (political) theft in Nepal Suspected ?sleuths? this morning sneaked into the house of a prominent Nepali politician like thieves and, yes, did what a thief does. They stole the documents stored in the computer and walked away with some stuff printed in the leader?s house. That was not an ordinary case of theft. They didn?t steal household things. They stole intellectual property. So, this is a clear case of intellectual property theft with some criminal association. Well, the question arises, what the hell was that leader doing when thieves were stealing documents. Hm..good question. Narahari Acharya is in the police detention in Bhaktpur ever since Feb 1 royal takeover. And Mrs Acharya wasn?t in the home when the burglary took place. So, those ?IP thieves? did that all early in the morning when there was no one, except a caretaker who was held up inside the room, in the Acharya residence, Chandol, Maharajgunj. Who is Narahari Acharya and why the thieves were interested in his digitized document (a word file)? Acharya is one of the few Nepali Congress central level leaders with a clean image and no corruption charges of any kind raised against him. He is a think tank within the party and regularly talks about various important matters including the national governing structure and role of monarchy in Nepal. Two years ago, he created a stir in national politics suggesting the possible policies that Nepali Congress could adopt regarding the role of the king and parliament in Nepal. That prompted his party to sack him from the post of the spokesperson. Acharya also talks about Constituent Assembly. What happened this morning? Here is the detailed made available by the aides of Acharya. At around 05 am in the morning, Tek Prasad Ghimire inquired Rashmi Lama, the caretaker, about the main entrance of the house that was wide open. ?Why the door is left open?? ?Don?t know really. I think the door of my room seems to be locked from outside.? The neighbors jumped over the compound wall and opened up the door of Rashmi?s room. They called to Chakrapath Police beat. Police came, inspected the venue and returned at around 7 am. Books and other papers, inside the bookshelf and tied in the bundle, were found scattered around the room. The computer and fax cover have been removed. It seemed that computer was opened up and used for a while. Those IP thieves printed too. The volume of the paper on the printer was reduced. Ditto with photocopier. So far, things missing from the house are one computer table, 2 bundle of ballpoint pen, one suitcase, a penholder, and one notepad. Papers are scattered so it was not immediately clear which kind of paper is missing. Acharya was writing a book about restructuring the state and constituent assembly. Files related to this were not deleted but apparently they were accessed in the computer.
