Yograj Dhakal (Regal), who was condemned to life in jail for murdering a person by striking a Khuda (Chhoper or a kind of Knife) at the Nepalgunj market, was released by the government on Constitution Day. Regal was guilty of murdering Chetan Manandhar of Nepalgunj on Ashar 28, 2072 ( 3 July 2015).
