Chairman of the Special Court Kedar Prasad Chalise and Members Mohan Raman Bhattarai and Bhupendra Prasad Rai ordered to keep Manage under control of the Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) of the Nepal Police as hearings on the case could not be concluded on Sunday. “The hearing will be also continued on Monday,” Under-secretary at the Special Court Keshav Prasad Ghimire told Republica.
The CIB on Friday night had arrested Manange from the City Center mall located at Kamalpokhari, Kathmandu. The Department of Money Laundering Investigation (DoMLI) on May 19 had filed cases against Manange and four other notorious gangsters at the Special Court for amassing properties through illegal sources.

Similarly, gangster Ganesh Lama has been accused of illegally amassing Rs 270 million, Parshu Ram Basnet Rs 116.1 million, Chakre Milan 70.7 million and Abhisek Giri Rs 29.4 million from unknown sources.
Lama, who is also central committee member of Bijay Kumar Gachchhadar-led Madhesi People’s Rights Forum-Democratic (MPRF-D), is serving a jail-term at Dilli Bazar Jail after he failed to submit a bail amount of Rs 30 million sought by the Special Court.
Similarly, Basnet, who is a leader of CNP-UML’s youth wing leader, has been released on bail while Milan is at the central jail for his involvement in drug smuggling and other charges. Giri, who is close to Nepali Congress, is still absconding.
