KATHMANDU: The Supreme Court has ordered the release of Durga Prasai.
A joint bench comprising Justices Nahakul Subedi and Saranga Subedi issued the order for Prasai’s release.
The court’s decision came after hearing a writ of habeas corpus filed on behalf of Prasai, as confirmed by spokesperson Achyut Kuinkel.
Prasai had been charged by the Cyber Bureau of Nepal Police for electronic crimes.
Despite a previous order granting her release on a bail of Rs 40,000 for this charge, he had not been released.
Furthermore, the Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) of the police had initiated a new investigation into him for alleged criminal profiteering.
Prasai’s son, Nirajan Prasai, had filed a habeas corpus petition with the Supreme Court, claiming that his father was being unlawfully detained.
