POKHARA: Rabi Lamichhane, the leader of the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP), was brought before the Kaski District Court today (Thursday). This marks the seventh time Lamichhane has appeared in court.
He has been in custody at the District Police Office in Kaski as part of an ongoing investigation into the Suryadarshan Cooperative fraud case in Pokhara.
Lamichhane's latest 4-day detention period ended on Wednesday evening, prompting his appearance in court today for a possible extension of his detention. If granted, this would be the seventh time his custody has been extended.
Lamichhane was arrested in Kathmandu and has remained in police detention since.
Prior to today, his detention had already been extended six times. He is under investigation for various offenses, including involvement in cooperative fraud, organized crime, and money laundering.
As part of the probe, Lamichhane has been questioned about his alleged role in fraudulent activities linked to several cooperatives, including Suryadarshan in Pokhara, Supreme Cooperative in Butwal, Swarnalaxmi in Kathmandu, Sahara Cooperative in Chitwan, and Sano Paila in Parsa (Birgunj).
