Basnet, also known as ‘Anil Baba’, was arrested on Sunday from Sukedhara.
Following his arrest, he was presented before the court by the Kathmandu District Police Office, which sought additional time for investigation.
The court granted the request, according to police spokesperson SP Apil Raj Bohora.
