Kathmandu, April 23
Nepal Tarun Dal, the youth wing of main opposition Nepali Congress, has demanded that former government secretary Bhim Upadhyaya be released.
Police in Lalitpur had arrested the former bureaucrat, reportedly on the charge of writing various statements against Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli and his government on Wednesday. Whereas the police have claimed that some of his statements amount to cybercrime, the NTD says the accusation was false.
In a statement on Thursday, the NTD president Jeet Jang Basnet demands an unconditional release of Upadhyaya.
