The district court issued an arrest warrant to Sandeep Lamichhane, the captain of the national cricket team, following a complaint of rape of a minor.
Sandeep, who went to Kenya to play in the Caribbean League, is not sure when he will return to Nepal. In this situation, Sandeep is not coming and the immigration department has blacklisted him.
Blacklisting means that the police are preparing to arrest him at the immigration of Tribhuvan Airport. There are mixed reactions on social media regarding this case of Sandeep, who has made a name for himself in cricket at home and abroad.
Actress, model and journalist Reema Vishwakarma has questioned the immigration decision of blacklisting. She has questioned the fairness of blacklisting international level players.
She writes, “Whether Sandeep Lamichhane is guilty or innocent will be known only after the investigation.” If he is guilty, he should be punished according to the law of the country, the criminal should not get immunity under any circumstances. But how fair is it to blacklist an international-level national player, who is guilty of the matter that is under investigation, based on the allegations?
A few days ago, actor Santosh Pant was also dragged into the controversy after questioning the intention of the minor to file the complaint.
