Kathmandu, June 23

CPN-UML Vice-chairman and former deputy prime minister Bishnu Paudel, who was arrested in connection with an investigation into a money laundering case, has been remanded in custody for seven days.

On Tuesday, a joint bench comprising Special Court Judges Narayan Prasad Paudel, Hemanta Rawal, and Umesh Koirala granted permission to keep Paudel in custody for investigation for an additional seven days.

After taking Paudel into custody, the Department of Money Laundering Investigation had requested the court to approve an arrest warrant for Paudel and grant an extension of his custody for investigation.

Acting on that request, the Special Court approved the arrest warrant and, for the first time, extended Paudel's detention by seven days.

According to the Special Court administration branch, Paudel was sent to judicial custody following the court's order to move the investigation process forward.
