The Kathmandu District Court has granted bail to Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) leader Arnico Panday.
On Friday, a bench of Judge Dhruba Raj Karki at the Kathmandu District Court ordered Panday to be released on a bail of Rs 20,000, according to Superintendent of Police Deepak Raj Awasthi, spokesperson for the Cyber Bureau of Nepal Police.
Panday had visited the Cyber Bureau on Wednesday after being accused of offenses under Section 47 of the Electronic Transactions Act.
After recording Panday’s statement on Wednesday, the Cyber Bureau submitted its report to the District Government Attorney’s Office, Kathmandu, on Thursday.
