Prasai was released following the Parsa Court’s order, said Hari Basnet, DSP and spokesperson of the Parsa District Police Office. The police had filed a case against him for cyber crimes and crimes against the state.

The bench of Parsa District Court Judge Gayatri Prasad Regmi had today ordered the release of Prasai on a regular date.

After hearing the case registered against Prasai, the court ordered to keep him in custody and proceed with the investigation and legal process on a date.
