Lamichhane Stares At Uncertain Future

Rabi Lamichhane, president of the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP), suffered an embarrassing exit from what appeared to be a promising political career due to the allegations he is now facing. Police in Kaski documented instances including joint fraud, organised crime, and money laundering. The police requested 15 years in prison and demanded a claim of Rs278.9 million from him. The ultimate decision on the matter will be made following the court ruling, which will take many weeks, if not months. It has threatened to derail his political ambitions and career, as well as destroy his reputation as a previous famous TV anchor who was once recognised by Guinness World Records for airing a marathon programme on the theme "Buddha Was Born In Nepal".
