Former Nepal cricket team captain Sandeep Lamichhane has been found guilty of rape by the Kathmandu District Court. This verdict follows a legal process that began in September 2022 when charges were initially brought against him. The court upheld the charges, finding Lamichhane guilty, although it also noted that the victim was not a minor at the time of the crime.

Throughout this legal ordeal, Sandeep Lamichhane has continued to represent Nepal in cricket while on bail pending the trial. This decision was made after the Nepal Supreme Court overturned a lower court order that had mandated his detention in January.

The case has attracted significant attention, both within the cricketing community and beyond, sparking important discussions about justice, accountability, and the complexities of legal matters intersecting with sports.

With the sentencing hearing scheduled for early next month, this development marks a significant point in the ongoing legal proceedings against Sandeep Lamichhane.
