The government prosecutor on sunday filed a charge-sheet in the Kathmandu District Court (KDC) against the seven accused in the eight-year-old Bibek Sharma Luitel murder case.
The prosecutor has sought life sentence for them. Twenty-year jail term is considered a life sentence as per the existing Nepalese laws.
The Kathmandu District Government Office (KDGO) filed the charge-sheet, demanding life term for Bhikhari Khan, Okil Ansari, Pappu Mandal, Pateni Lama, Shakhina Manandhar Khapung, Mokhtari Ansari. Bhikhari, Okil and Mokhtar are Indian nationals, while the rest are Nepali citizens involved in the murder case. The Kathmandu District Police Office, Hanumandhoka, produced six of the accused before the KDC along with the charge-sheet. The police could not produce one of the accused, Akabar Ansari, who is absconding.
The KDGO sought the seizure of their property as per Clause 1 and 13 of the Murder Chapter of the Muluki Ain (Civil Code) 2063. After registering the case, registrar of the KDC Krishna Ram Koirala said the court would start further procedure tomorrow. The charge-sheet said most of the accused have admitted that they abducted and killed Bibek on the direction of Pateni Lama, a charge which Lama has denied.
