Former Nepal Chief Justice Taken to Police Station Amid Security Concerns
Former Nepal Chief Justice Cholendra Shumsher Rana was taken from his Kathmandu residence to a police station early Sunday. Police initially confirmed his arrest but later stated he was placed under protection due to an unspecified security threat. Rana's family and police gave differing accounts of the incident. The move follows the Supreme Court's recent dismissal of impeachment proceedings against him, which had suspended him from office in 2022. Authorities have not disclosed details about the alleged threat or any criminal case.
