Rabi back to behind the bars

The Rupandehi District Court has decided and ordered Rastriya Swatantra Party Chairman Rabi Lamichhane to remain in custody, in spite of his request for release on a bank guarantee , citing the conditions for Lamichhane’s release were not met.   The bench of Judge Narayan Prasad Sapkota ruled on Monday that Lamichhane could not be freed under Section 71 of the Criminal Procedure Code despite his submission of a Rs 27.48 million bank guarantee related to the Butwal Supreme Cooperative fraud case. His supporters have launched a nationwide signature campaign , claiming his detention is politically motivated. It remains to be seen Rabi’s next move and how his party RSP will react on the court’s decision .
