  "account": "Nepal's police force has cautioned citizens against keeping, selling, or distributing gold, silver, cash, and other valuables found following the August 26 flash floods. Authorities urge individuals who discover such items or important documents to report them to the nearest police station to facilitate their return to rightful owners. The police emphasize that possessing, concealing, or trading these items could be a criminal offense, potentially leading to legal consequences. The warning arises after a recent incident where 29 people in Dhading district were apprehended for allegedly breaking into a bank vault washed away by the flood and stealing cash from it. The flood's aftermath may also create opportunities for increased theft, looting, and fraud due to the occupied police resources.",
  "summary": "The appeal follows the arrest of 29 people in Dhading for allegedly taking cash from a bank safe swept away by floodwaters.",
