On October 6, Sandeep Lamichhane was taken into custody by Nepal Police on rape-related accusations. He was initially given judicial custody for a period of seven days, which started when he turned himself in. When he landed at Kathmandu’s Tribhuvan International Airport, he was arrested. Lamichhane returned to Nepal after pressure from the Nepali government led to Interpol being activated.
A 17-year-old woman accused the spin bowler of raping her in a Nepali hotel room, and a warrant was issued for his arrest. The girl was allegedly taken around Kathmandu and Bhaktapur by 22-year-old Lamichhane on August 21 for a visit before she was sexually assaulted there later that evening.
