KATHMANDU, JANUARY 11

The Kathmandu District Court has once again sent Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) Chairperson and former Home Minister Rabi Lamichhane to judicial custody after the hearing on whether to extend his detention remained inconclusive.

Lamichhane faces charges related to the misappropriation of deposits from the Kathmandu-based Swarnalaxmi Cooperative. His case was heard at the bench of Justice Madhab Prasad Adhikari.

According to Public Information Officer Ambar Bahadur Chand, the next hearing is scheduled for January 15, and police have been directed to keep Lamichhane in judicial custody until then.
