KATHMANDU: Rabi Lamichhane, Chair of the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP), questioned in court on Tuesday, “What evidence would I have destroyed if I had been released?”
He made this remark during his appearance before the Kaski District Court, where a decision was being made on the extension of his detention.
Kaski Police presented Lamichhane to the district court on Tuesday, requesting a final extension of his detention.
Later, the Kaski District Court approved an additional four-day remand for Lamichhane and Chhabilal Joshi, following the expiration of their previous five-day remand in connection with the cooperative fraud case.
In front of Judge Himlal Belbase’s bench, Lamichhane asked, “What evidence would I have destroyed if I had been released, sir?”
In response, the judge smiled and replied, “You will understand that later. Your experience will be useful to you in the future.”
