The police wanted to arrest him again for the same case lodged by the CIAA.
He is the third CA member to be arrested, after the Commission for Investigation of Abuse of Authority, the constitutional anti-graft body, has initiated a probe into the lawmakers’ possible involvement in misusing the diplomatic passport.
In April, the CIB had arrested two lawmakers Gayatri Sah of Nepali Janata Dal and Bishwonath Prasad Yadav of Madhesi People’s Rights Forum for their alleged involvement in selling their red passports.
Both of them have currently been facing charges filed by the Commission for Investigation of Abuse of Authority, the constitutional anti-graft body, at the Special Court.
