A lawyer from Dhanusha, Pramod Kumar Ray, has been arrested for his alleged involvement in a gang rape case.
Police said he was arrested on Friday from Tinkune, Kathmandu, and brought to Dhanusha on Saturday. He will be presented at the Dhanusha District Court today for an extension of custody.
According to police, Rai along with two others allegedly raped a woman in Dhanusha on January 25, 2025 (Magh 12, 2081). The victim said the group took advantage of the morning fog to commit the crime.
The victim had tried to file a complaint earlier at the local police office, but it was not registered. Later, after an order from the High Court, the police in Sakhuwan Mahendranagar registered the case.
