According to the girl’s complaint, Sandeep Lamichhan was molested at a hotel in Kathmandu on August 21. On August 22, on the eve of the Nepal cricket team’s departure for Kenya, Sandeep Lamichchane had asked the girl to go on a trip. The girl could not return back to the hostel as the gates were closed at 8pm and was forced to stay in a hotel in Kathmandu. The girl complained that Sandeep Lamichhan was molested in this hotel. Soon after the complaint was lodged, the girl underwent a medical examination. It is reported that the girl, who is a fan of Lamichane, had previously talked to the star on WhatsApp and Snapchat.
