The Court extended the term till October 13. It will come into effect from October 6. Police had produced Lamichhane before the Court today seeking extension of his custody term. Advocate Shakti Pathak said that Lamichhane pleaded before Judge Dayaram Dhakal during the term extension that he was innocent and was not involved in the sexual assault on a minor.

Lamichhane argued in the court that the woman who filed a complaint against him was 19 years old and not a minor. Lamichhane was taken to the Court seeking extension of custody for the first time and he will be produced before the Court next on October 13.
