KATHMANDU, Dec 21: Notorious gangster Rajiv Gurung aka Deepak Manange was released from Dillibazar-based prison on Friday afternoon.
Manange was released from the prison after the Supreme Court’s verdict to release him, according to sources. He had been doing time at Dillibazar-based prison since April 2018.
