Kathmandu: Nepal has banned three Indian climbers for six years from mountaineering in the country after a probe revealed that they faked their 2016 Mt Everest summit.

According to details, Nepal has revoked the Everest summit certificates of climbers Narender Singh Yadav, Seema Rani Goswami and their team leader Naba Kumar Phukon after an investigation revealed that they faked their Everest climb up.
Narender Singh Yadav and Seema Rani Goswami had claimed that they reached the top of highest peak in 2016 spring season and even the tourism department of Nepal had certified their claim at the time.
But later the authorities decided to take an action against them when they failed to produce any proof after Mr Yadav was nominated for an award.
The Indian climbers have not commented on the matter as yet.
An official of Nepal tourism ministry revealed that during the investigations with other climbers, they found that the Indian climbers "never reached the summit" and had failed to produce any reliable pictures of the summit and other evidence.
This is not the first time that Indian climbers faked an Everest summit. Earlier in 2017, police in the western Indian state of Maharashtra fired two officers after a probe revealed that their claim to be the first Indian couple to climb Everest was fake. The couple had shown "morphed photographs" to show a successful ascent.
