BHAIRAHAWA, Rupandehi — In a recent court order, the Rupandehi District Court has mandated the release of Dipesh Pun, who was previously detained over allegations connected to the Supreme Cooperative fraud incident. The court has set bail at Rs 400,000.
Judge Dr. Deepak Upreti, presiding over the bench, decided on Friday, allowing for Pun’s release upon meeting the bail conditions. Information Officer Anantaraj Marasini confirmed the details of the court’s order.
Dipesh Pun, the son of Nanda Bahadur Pun, former Vice President of Nepal, has been a focal point in the investigation surrounding the financial irregularities plaguing the Supreme Cooperative. The specifics of the allegations have yet to be fully disclosed, but the case has attracted significant attention due to the high-profile nature of the accused’s familial connections.
The decision to grant bail has been met with mixed reactions from the public and stakeholders, with some expressing concern about the implications for justice in high-profile cases, while others argue that the court’s decision is a standard procedure in the legal system.
