Former PM KP Sharma Oli and Ramesh Lekhak Released from Custody Pending Investigation

Kathmandu. Police have confirmed that while former Prime Minister and CPN-UML Chairman KP Sharma Oli and former Home Minister Ramesh Lekhak have been released following a Supreme Court order, investigations against them remain ongoing.

A joint bench of Supreme Court Justices Binod Sharma and Sunil Kumar Pokharel issued the order on Chait 23 during a habeas corpus hearing, directing that no further remand be granted once the existing term expired. The court did not, however, order a halt to the investigation.
