Kathmandu, June 29: Nepal’s Special Court on Monday granted authorities permission to keep CPN-UML Vice Chair Bishnu Paudel in custody for an additional three days as part of an ongoing money laundering investigation.
A bench comprising judges Narayan Prasad Paudel, Hemant Rawal and Umesh Koirala approved the extension after an earlier order had allowed investigators to detain Paudel for seven days.
Paudel was arrested in Surkhet on June 22 (Asar 8) for investigation under the country’s anti-money laundering laws.
