The court has ordered to take the statement of Sandeep's fellow cricketer Sahab Alam and the medical examiner of the complainant. Lamichhane's lawyer, Murari Sapkota, filed an application stating that since the two witnesses do not have affidavits, so their statements need to be recorded.
According to the request of Lamichhane’s lawyers, the court has ordered to take the statements of the two people.
Today's hearing is over. The next hearing has not been scheduled yet.
On September 6, a teenage girl filed a complaint against Lamichhane, who is also the former captain of the national cricket team, at the Gaushala police circle, accusing him of raping her.
