The court sentenced Nepal’s star spinner Sandeep Lamichane to 8 years in prison after being found guilty.
The Kathmandu Sessions Court also imposed a fine of USD 2,255 on Sandeep Lamichane and ordered him to pay USD 1,500 to the victim.
According to foreign media reports, Sandeep Lamichane was found guilty of raping a 17-year-old girl.
A single-bench judge, Shashar Raj, delivered a safe verdict in the rape case last week.
The court had said in its decision that the former captain of the Nepali team and the leg-spinner will be sentenced in the next week’s hearing.
Sandeep Lemichane, 23, was currently on bail before the court verdict.
It should be noted that the victim had filed a case with the police in September last year. The cricketer was arrested in October but was released on bail.
Sandeep Limichane has been playing international cricket since 2018, so far he has represented Nepal in 51 ODIs and 52 T20Is.
