Kathmandu, November 12 — Gandaki Provincial Assembly member Deepak Manange has been arrested and brought to the Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) in Lazimpat. He was apprehended by a team led by DSP from the CIB, from a house at Comfort Housing in Sano Bharyang, Kathmandu.

On November 5, the Supreme Court upheld the decision made by the High Court in the attempted murder case and sentenced him to five years in prison. After the verdict, he had gone into hiding and was unreachable.
