Root cause behind demand for Rabi’s release

KATHMANDU, Aug 9: In the cooperative fraud case, Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) Chairperson Rabi Lamichhane—currently in judicial custody—was ordered to post bail not by just one court, but by five different district courts, all of which stated that “it cannot be said he is not guilty.” The courts of Kaski, Rupandehi, Chitwan, Kathmandu, and Parsa mentioned in their orders that they did not see a “reasonable basis to believe that the accused had not committed the crime” while demanding bail for his release.
