Sandeep Lamichhane’s Possible Decade Behind Bars

In a significant development, the Kathmandu District Court has handed down a conviction to former national cricket team captain Sandeep Lamichhane for the charge of rape. The verdict was delivered by a single bench presided over by Judge Shishir Raj Dhakal, marking the conclusion of final hearings that spanned several days, commencing last Sunday.

The next crucial phase in this legal saga involves determining the specific jail term for the senior member of the national cricket team. Lamichhane stands accused under Section 219 of the Criminal Code 2074, a provision that carries a potential sentence ranging from 7 to 10 years behind bars.

The news of Lamichhane’s conviction has sent shockwaves through the cricket community and the nation at large, as the once-celebrated sports figure now faces the prospect of a significant period of incarceration. The court’s decision will undoubtedly have profound implications for Lamichhane’s career and reputation, and the upcoming sentencing hearing will be closely watched by cricket enthusiasts and the public alike.
