March 28, Kathmandu – Preparations have begun to have former Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli appear in court through virtual means (video conferencing). Due to Oli’s health condition, it is not feasible for him to attend physically, so arrangements are being made for his presence via video conference.
Oli, who was arrested from Gundu early Saturday morning, has been admitted to Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital. According to health examinations conducted Saturday evening and Sunday morning, doctors recommended keeping him in the hospital instead of moving him around.
Following the doctors’ advice, the government attorney’s office has initiated preparations to present him in court through video conferencing, sources said. Currently, a significant deployment of security personnel is in place around Kathmandu District Court and Kathmandu District Police Office.
Former Home Minister Ramesh Lekhak, who was also arrested on Saturday, has already been presented in court. Both Oli and Lekhak were arrested based on the findings of the inquiry commission report regarding the crackdown on the Janajati movement that took place on September 8.
