An Indian couple are under investigation by Nepalese authorities amid allegations they doctored photographs of themselves to support false claims they reached the summit of Mount Everest.
一對印度夫婦由于涉嫌使用軟件修改出圖片以證明自己成功登頂珠峰,，目前正在接受尼泊爾當(dāng)局的調(diào)查。

印度夫婦迪內(nèi)希.拉托德和塔拉凱什瓦里.拉托德都是馬哈拉施特拉邦的警員,。二人被指控使用其他登山者的照片以取得尼泊爾旅游部頒發(fā)的登頂證書,。
One man has submitted what he claims are the unaltered photos from the top of the summit, which show the same people in the background but no sign of Mr and Mrs Rathod.
一名登山者提交了據(jù)稱在珠峰山頂所拍的原始照片，背景顯示有相同的人，卻沒有拉托德夫婦,。
Although the alleged fraud does not amount to a criminal offence, the Nepalese government could decide to revoke their certificates and ban them from mountaineering in the country for at least 10 years.
盡管這種欺騙手段不足以構(gòu)成刑事犯罪,，尼泊爾當(dāng)局仍決定收回登頂證書，并在10年內(nèi)禁止他們攀登珠峰,。
Nepal’s tourism chief, Sudarshan Prasad Dhakal, said his department had spoken to the expedition’s organisers and officials stationed at Everest base camp before validating the couple’s certificates.
尼泊爾旅游局局長Sudarshan Prasad Dhakal表示,，在給這對夫婦頒發(fā)證書前，旅游局有向探險組織和珠峰大本營駐地工作人員確認過,。
He added: “In order to provide a certificate to the climber, we rely on their photograph on top of Mount Everest … If someone fakes their photos, it’s hard to determine that they are not original.”
他補充說,，“當(dāng)局仰賴登山者自行提供的攻頂成功的照片進行認證程序……但如果有人造假，很難去判斷真?zhèn)�,�,！?br />
Eight climbers have filed complaints against Mr and Mrs Rathod - and say such fraudulent claims belittle the achievements of genuine mountaineers who reach the 8,848m (29,029ft) summit.

The Rathods could not be reached for comment.
