KATHMANDU, June 16: Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Kumud Dhungel who faces the charge of being involved in a robbery case in Kathmandu has been released on general court date.

The Kathmandu District Court (KDC) freed him on general court date as he was absconding after the case was filed by entitling him as an accomplice on the allegation of being involved with the principal accused of looting the house of Lalendra Prasad Chachan.

According to KDC Registrar Ananda Prasad Shrestha, the suspended DSP was accused of dacoity but released on general court date on Tuesday when he surrendered at the court.

"He attended the court today and got the general court date from the bench of Judge Komal Prasad Acharya," Shrestha added.  

Dhungel was suspended by the Police Headquarters immediately after his connection was established with the other accused who have been facing the charge of carrying out a robbery at the Kathmandu-based house of Lalendra Prasad Chachan on April 19, 2019. Immediately after being freed on general court date, his suspension has also been lifted so he may join his duty now.
