Kathmandu: Nepal captain Sandeep Lamichhane is in massive trouble as a 17-year-old girl has lodged a rape complaint against him in Kathmandu. The spinner is the first cricketer from Nepal to represent the country in major franchise leagues. Sandeep has played in the Indian Premier League, Big Bash League, and Caribbean Premier League. The Kathmandu police have also confirmed receiving a rape complaint against Sandeep Lamichhane.

The girl said that Sandeep Lamichhane raped her on August 21, adding that she got to know about Sandeep through a common friend after which she started chatting with him on Whatapp and Snapchat. She added that Sandeep proposed a meeting with her on eve of the Nepal team’s departure to Kenya after which she went to Nagarkot with Lamichhane. Meanwhile, Sandeep left for Kenya to feature in the five match T20I series against the hosts, which Nepal won 3-2, after which he left for West Indies to play the Caribbean Premier League 2022.

“A rape complaint has been filed against Sandeep Lamichhane. It’s a minor’s complaint, I will give further details regarding this tomorrow. The victim’s health check-up has also been performed this evening,” AIG Rabindra Singh Dhanuk at Kathmandu Valley Police Office said.

Sandeep Lamichhane is representing Jamaica Tallawahs in the CPL but is yet to feature in the tournament. The recent complain is a big setback for Sandeep Lamichhane and it will be interesting to see Nepal Cricket Association’s stance on the matter. Sandeep is yet to issue any clarification on the issue. Meanwhile, the Kathmandu police have also not summoned Sandeep Lamichhane for investigation as of now.
