Recently a couple who are constables in the Police department rose to fame for becoming the first couple to reach the Everest summit. But there seems to be twist in the tale. Eight fellow mountaineers from Maharashtra have filed a complaint stating that the couple, who are police constables, was never at the summit and had, in fact, morphed pictures of themselves at the top of the Everest.
Various doubts were raised by the complainants about how Dinesh and Tarakeshwari Rathod managed to get to the peak. One of it is the date and time stamp on the photos. Dinesh Rathod had stated that he reached the Everest summit at 6.25 am on May 23, 2016, but the direction of the shadows indicates that the time the photo was taken was between 11 am and noon, the complaint states. But ironically these are the very photographs that the Nepal Tourism Board 'verified' before awarding the couple their summit certificate. No officials from the Nepal Tourism Board were available for a clarification.
