High court upholds district court order to keep Rahul in custody



Patan High Court

Kathmandu, Jan 26: Patan High Court has upheld the District Court Kathmandu’s order to keep Rahul Mahara in custody for investigation.

A division bench of judges Anju Upreti Dhakal and Dipendra Adhikari on Thursday upheld the verdict of the District Court Kathmandu.

Rahul Mahara, son of CPN (Maoist) leader Krishna Prasad Mahara, is in custody for investigation on gold scam. The Central Investigation Bureau of Nepal Police had arrested Rahul on the charge of his involvement in the scam. The District Court Kathmandu had issued the order to keep Rahul in custody, rejecting to release him on bail.

Rahul had moved the High Court against the decision of the District Court Kathmandu, but in vain. #Nepal
