Kathmandu – In a dramatic turn of events, Rabi Lamichhane, President of the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) and former Home Minister of Nepal, is now highly likely to be released from custody tomorrow. Although his supporters were anticipating his release today, the Supreme Court kept his habeas corpus petition under “review,” raising questions and curiosity across the nation.
But now, the real reason behind today’s delay has come to light, thanks to a candid and compelling interview with renowned legal expert Advocate Kanchan Krishna Neupane on Yes Nepal News’s “Vishesh Kurakani (Special Talk)”.
Why Wasn’t He Released Today?
Rabi Lamichhane has been in judicial custody at Bhairahawa prison in Rupandehi under a cooperative fraud case. Today’s hearing at the Supreme Court, conducted by Justices Nakul Subedi and Bal Krishna Dhakal, was expected to conclude with a verdict. However, due to extended arguments and time constraints, the hearing was postponed and the petition was placed under “hearing continues” status.
But this isn’t just procedural delay – according to legal circles, it’s a strategic move towards a just and final decision. The court reportedly wants to thoroughly examine the documents and arguments before delivering a ruling that could set a major precedent.
Kanchan Nyaupane Drops the Bombshell: “Rabi Will Be Freed Tomorrow”
In a fiery exclusive interview, Advocate Kanchan Krishna Nyaupane made a confident assertion:
“Rabi Lamichhane will be released. The legal grounds are solid, and there’s no justification to keep him detained any longer.”
Nyaupane explained that Rabi was neither a primary operator of the cooperative in question nor a direct beneficiary. “This is a case of political vendetta, not legal legitimacy,” he added.
He further stated:
“Today’s delay is not a denial of justice – it’s the court taking extra caution to ensure a just and comprehensive verdict. But make no mistake, he’s coming out tomorrow.”
Political Conspiracy or Legal Process?
Many RSP supporters and political analysts are calling this case a targeted campaign to bring down a rising political figure who challenged the establishment. The timing of the arrest, the sudden surfacing of witnesses, and the delayed proceedings have all sparked speculation of deep-rooted political interference.
The hashtag #FreeRabiNow has been trending across Nepali social media, with supporters calling him a “fighter against the system” and demanding his immediate release.
What Happens After His Release?
If Rabi is indeed freed tomorrow, RSP is expected to launch a renewed political offensive both in parliament and on the streets. Insider sources suggest that Rabi might reveal explosive truths about his arrest, the actors behind the case, and the internal workings of power in Nepal.
Conclusion: All Eyes on Tomorrow – A Historic Verdict Looms
While today’s delay raised eyebrows, tomorrow could mark a major moment in Nepal’s legal and political landscape. Rabi Lamichhane’s potential release isn’t just about one man’s freedom—it’s about justice, political integrity, and the strength of the rule of law in Nepal.
