Pune Couple Everest Climb

Suspended Pune police constable couple Dinesh Rathod and Tarkeshwari Rathod, who lied about climbing the Mount Everest and circulated morphed photo of their 'mountaineering feat' in May last year, have been dismissed from the force, a senior official said.

Six months after they claimed to have be the first married couple in history to scale Mt. Everest, Pune police personnel Dinesh and Tarakeshwari Rathod were suspended from the Maharashtra Police on Thursday for faking the achievement.

Nepal has imposed a 10-year mountaineering ban on a Pune couple who faked photographs to show them at the top of Mount Everest.

Nepal has opened an investigation into an police couple from Pune accused of falsifying photographs to support their claim of summiting Mount Everest this year, an official said Monday.

In early June, Dinesh and Tarakeshwari Rathod told reporters that they had climbed the highest peak in the world, Mount Everest. In doing so, the two 30-year-olds - both police officers from the city of Pune - were thought to have become the first Indian couple to conquer the 29,035-foot-tall Everest together.
