Actor Paul Shah has said that he had to spend a lot of money to fight the rape case and because of that, his plan to build a house in Kathmandu was ruined.
Paul spent a year in jail after being convicted of raping a minor singer. But later he was released from prison after the High Court of Pokhara acquitted him. Since then he has continued his acting career.
Everything was going well. We were planning to build a house in Kathmandu. We took the land too’, Paul said, ‘but that incident (rape case) happened. And all the saving is over. Even after closing the account, I went into loans.’
He said that a large amount of money was spent on the fees of lawyers who come for case arguments.
Paul said that it will take a few more years to build a house in Kathmandu.
