Biratnagar, December 6
Police say they have not yet completed an investigation into an alleged rape charge on a religious leader. Krishna Giri aka Siddhababa was arrested recently on the charge of raping one of his followers.
The Sunsari District Court on Monday had allowed police to keep him in custody for four days for the investigation. As the probe did not conclude, police took him to the court today again, seeking an extension of the remand.
After the remand, the religious leader is staying at Birat Nursing Home in Biratnagar ‘for treatment’. He was arrested from the same health facility earlier.
The hospital says he had a minor heart attack recently.
