Sandeep Lamichhane found guilty of rape

FORMER Nepal captain Sandeep Lamichhane was found guilty of rape by the Kathmandu District Court on Friday (December 29).
Judge Shishir Raj Dhakal upheld the charges against Lamichhane following a single judge bench hearing which commenced on Sunday, though the court found that the victim was not a minor at the time of the crime.

Charges were first brought against Lamichhane in September of 2022, but the leg-spinner has continued to represent Nepal while on bail pending the trial, since a lower court order mandating his detention was overturned by the Nepal Supreme Court in January.
A sentencing hearing is expected to be held early next month. (Cricbuzz)
