A few days ago, the Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) of Nepal Police arrested Secretary Raut from Kathmandu Airport when he was going to Biratnagar.
The CIB alleges that Raut, who was the section officer at the time, raised a comment in the case that the government land of Lalita Niwas had been acquired and registered in the name of an individual.
After his arrest, a custodial writ was filed at the Supreme Court for illegal detention.
