Nagarik Unmukti Party lawmaker Arun Chaudhary’s suspension has been lifted. Speaker Devraj Ghimire had read out a letter of amnesty sent by the President’s office during the Parliament meeting today. With this, Chaudhary’s suspension was lifted. Chaudhary was apprehended from Kohalpur of Banke on February 2.

Following his arrest, he was suspended as a lawmaker.

He was produced before the court on February 3. Around 12 years ago, the Kailali District Court had sentenced Chaudhary to six months in jail for torching a tractor. He was elected as a member of the House of Representatives from Kailali-2 by securing 21, 871 votes. Police had said that Chaudhary was nabbed as he has yet to serve the jail term associated with a 12-year-old arson case.
