Kathmandu: Former Nepal Cricket Captain Sandeep Lamichhane announced that he will surrender to the authorities after his return to the country on October 6 for facing the charges of an alleged rape case against him.
Sandeep made this announcement on his Facebook page after Interpol (International Criminal Police Organisation) issued a diffusion notice at the request of the Nepal Police.
The post shared by his verified profile added that “With great hope and strength, I hereby confirm that I am reaching to my home country Nepal on this 6th October 2022 and will submit myself to the authority of Nepal to fight a legal battle against the false allegation,”.
After being termed as a fugitive, the Kathmandu District Court issued an arrest warrant against him. After the cricketer lands in Nepal, he will be arrested by authorities as the Immigration department has blacklisted him.
In the post, he further added that “I hereby reiterate that I am INNOCENT and I have complete non-shaken faith in the justice system. I firmly believe in all the law enforcement authorities and honorable courts for their fair trial and adjudication and am just hopeful to get justice at the earliest,”.
According to reports, a girl, aged 17 years old, filed a case alleging Lamichhane of sexually assaulting her at a hotel in Sinamangal.
