KATHMANDU: The Kathmandu District Court has granted a five-day extension of custody for Rabindra Mishra, Durga Prasai, and 24 others arrested in connection with the Tinkune incident.

The extension, the seventh in the case, was approved by Judge Mona Singh’s bench under charges of crimes against the state.

They were last remanded on Baisakh 21 (May 4), and were presented before the court for further investigation, leading to the extension.

After the incident at Tinkune on Chaitra 15 (March 28), Mishra was previously charged with offenses against the state and organized crime.

Today, he has been additionally charged with criminal mischief. Mishra has expressed objections to the charges.

RPP General Secretary Dhawal Shamsher JBR has already been released for cancer treatment.
