KATHMANDU: Former Chief Justice (CJ) Cholendra Shumsher Rana has been arrested by police.
A team from the Kathmandu Valley Crime Investigation Office arrested Rana at his residence in Maharajgunj last night.
However, police have not disclosed details of the complaint filed against him. It may be recalled that an impeachment motion was registered in Parliament on January 2, 2019, against Rana, who assumed office as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court on February 20, 2022.
He was subsequently suspended and did not return to the Supreme Court, even though the impeachment motion was not passed. His tenure ended during the period of his suspension.
