KATHMANDU: The Supreme Court has ordered the release of Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP) Senior Vice President Rabindra Mishra on a personal guarantee.
A division bench of Justices Kumar Chudal and Til Prasad Shrestha issued the order, hearing a habeas corpus petition filed by Mishra’s spouse Sarika Karki.
Mishra was arrested on March 28 after the protest of pro-monarchy forces turned violent, claiming two lives. Protesters also set several business establishments and government offices on fire.
Talking to reporters following his release after 50 days in custody, Mishra paid tributes to the victims of March 28 protest. “I am a political person, and I have worked politically for the restoration of the monarchy. However, I have not committed any offenses against the state, organized crime, or criminal mischief,” he said.
RPP General Secretary Dhawal Shamsher Rana, who was also arrested on the same day, had already been released from custody citing health reasons.
The ‘people’s commander’ of the March 28 demonstration, Durga Prasain, and others are still in custody.
