Sandeep Lamichhane taken into custody by Kathmandu Police in response of arrest warrant to his name

Former Nepal captain Sandeep Lamichhane has been in deep trouble for a long period of time as he was facing rape allegations of a minor. Nepal Police had issued an arrest warrant against him while he was taking part in the Caribbean Premier League. The cricketer had said back then that he will depart for his country and will face the ‘baseless charges’ levelled against him. 

"I know I am facing a difficult time of conspiracy and wrongful allegation and the ramification of its effect is something unimaginable. I am sure there must be some mechanism for compensating the accused who has proven to be innocent in our legal system. I will soon seek legal support against wrongful prosecution and allegations made against me and I am sure I will get justice and will return to the cricket ground soon to make the name and fame of my beloved country I pray for a speedy trial,” he added.
