The district court of Kathmandu sentenced Sandeep to 8 years of imprisonment on the charge of raping a young woman. The district held that the complainant was an adult. Sandeep, who reached the High Court after the verdict, was given the facility to fight the case outside the jail until the court decided the case. He is fighting the case outside the jail.
