Nepal Jail Refuses To Release ‘Bikini Killer’ Charles Sobhraj

Kathamandu: Even though the Nepal Supreme Court on Wednesday ordered to release of serial killer Charles Sobhraj, Jail authorities of the country have refused to do so.

The Nepalese jail authorities claim that the Supreme Court’s decision is “vague” and does not mention in which case the release has been granted to him.

On Wednesday, a bench of judges Sapna Pradhan Malla and Til Prasad Shrestha ordered the release of 78-year-old Sobhraj, infamously known as the ‘bikini killer’.

Sobhraj filed a petition to be released from jail and the court passed orders for his release on grounds of his old age.

The court had also approved his deportation within 15 days of his release.
