A high court in <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/search/nepal-articles" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Nepal</a> has issued a bail release order for Nepal's star cricketer Sandeep Lamichhane in a rape case.
"He has been ordered to be released in bail amounting to Rs 2 million. He will be released tomorrow. There are certain terms for his foreign travels," Lamichhane's advocate, Saroj Ghimire told ANI.
Lamichhane is in custody and a hearing on the case of the cricketer is underway. The verdict is for his release from jail as he will be taking part in the hearing by staying outside the jail. Earlier last year, he was sent to judicial custody by Kathmandu District Court.
The Kathmandu District Court also has issued an arrest warrant against him over the case of raping a minor along with the Immigration Department of the Himalayan nation blacklisting him.
