BANKE, Nov 2: Yograj Dhakal, popularly known as Regal, who was earlier released through presidential pardon, has surrendered to Banke police. This comes shortly after the Supreme Court invalidated the decision to grant amnesty to Regal, who was serving life imprisonment in a murder case. 

On Thursday afternoon, Regal himself reached the District Police Office, Banke and surrendered himself to the police. 

On the occasion of Constitution Day, President Ram Chandra Paudel, at the recommendation of the government, pardoned him. Subsequently, he was released from prison.
