Charles Sobhraj, in 2023, completes a 20-year sentence in Nepal jail. Yet, he might not get free then

Serial killer Charles Sobhraj, who is in Kathmandu’s Central Jail repeatedly tells his visitors, “I will be released from prison in two to three weeks.” It was not just the visitors, but the 78-year-old French national tells the same thing to security officers.

Around April 2021, he created a sensation by giving interviews to the British media platforms, Mirror and Daily Mail claiming the same. In a telephone interview, Sobharaj not only insisted that he would be released within three to four weeks but also stated that he was illegally held in a Nepali prison and demanded compensation.
