All prisoners leave Nakkhu Jail after Rabi Lamichhane



LALITPUR: Following the release of Rastriya Swatantra Party chairman Rabi Lamichhane, all inmates at Nakkhu Jail in Lalitpur have left the facility.

Sources say that the police withdrew from their security posts, allowing the inmates to leave, raising concerns over heightened security risks in the area.

Authorities are monitoring the situation as the mass release of prisoners poses potential threats to public safety.
