Kathmandu: Suspended Captain of the Nepali national cricket team Sandeep Lamichhane will be presented before the court on Monday.
Lamichhane, accused of raping a minor girl, will be presented before Kathmandu District Court to seek the court’s permission for judicial custody. The District Attorney’s Office will be seeking a 15-day remand for an investigation into the case.
Although Lamichhane was arrested on Thursday from Tribhuvan International Airport after arriving in Nepal, he was not presented before the court as the courts in Nepal were closed due to the Dashain festival.
Police had arrested Lamichhane immediately after he landed at the airport on a flight of Qatar Airways and was kept at Metropolitan Police Circle, Gaushala, where the victim girl had filed a rape complaint against him.
A minor girl had filed a rape case against Lamichhane on September 6 at a time when he was out of the country to play Caribbean Premier League (CPL).
