Kathmandu. The Special Court has remanded Himalayan Reinsurance Company promoters Deepak Bhatt and Sulav Agrawal to judicial custody on the charge of money laundering.
A joint bench of the Special Court headed by Chairman Sudarshan Dev Bhatta on Wednesday issued the order to continue the hearing of the case.
During the hearing in the court, the lawyers representing the accused argued that the prosecution’s demand to keep them in custody as the prosecution was prejudiced and the investigation was over. The special public prosecutor on behalf of the government had argued that the accused should be kept in custody until the case is settled as the evidence of the accused would be destroyed as there is a serious charge of money laundering.
