Court extends custody of Bhatta & Agrawal

KATHMANDU: The Special Court has granted permission to extend the custody of two individuals arrested in connection with a money laundering investigation for an additional three days.

The accused, Deepak Bhatta and Shulabh Agrawal, have been held in detention as part of an ongoing investigation into alleged asset laundering activities.

According to the court order issued by a bench comprising judges Narayan Prasad Paudel and Umesh Koirala, both suspects will remain in custody to allow further investigation.

This marks the eighth remand extension for Bhatt and the ninth for Agrawal, reflecting the continued complexity of the investigation.

Authorities are still gathering evidence as the case progresses under Nepal’s anti-money laundering laws.
