Kathmandu, May 29: Today, May 29, the nation is observing Republic Day. Nothing special that the nation achieved since the adoption of republicanism, however, a good news for Aftab Alam, who was jailed by the Rautahat District Court on the murder charge, is released from an order of the High Court in Janakpur on May 28, on the eve of Republic Day.

Alam, who was facing a jail term at the Nakhu Jail, was released on Wednesday evening following the Court’s decision.

The High Court judges stated that there was no evidence for Nepali Congress MP Alam being involved in the murder case.

Alam was accused of killing a youth by bomb explosion.

Earlier, the District Court of Rautahat found him guilty and sentenced him to life imprisonment, but the High Court Janakpur acquitted him, Registrar Deepak Bhandari said.

Perhaps, this could be a gift of Republic Day for the Nepalis.
