The District Police Office, Banke has presented Yog Raj Dhakal aka Regal before the Banke District Court on Friday.
DSP Narayan Dangi, spokesperson at the District Police Office, informed that Regal has been produced before the court.
Now, the court will send him to prison.
The Supreme Court on Thursday revoked the decision of the President to grant amnesty to Regal, who was sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of Chetan Manandhar of Nepalgunj.
He turned himself in to police immediately after the apex court issued an order to arrest him.
A full bench of judges Ishwar Prasad Khatiwada, Sapana Malla Pradhan and Kumar Chudal overruled the leniency granted to Regal, arguing that the decision to spare Regal the rest of his jail term was in violation of the rights of his victims and ordering government authorities to send him to prison immediately for serving the rest of his term.
President Ramchandra Paudel, acting on a recommendation from the Council of Ministers, had pardoned Regal on the occasion of the Constitution Day, sparing him the remaining term of 11 years, 11 months and five days.
On 24 April 2018, a bench of Banke district court judge Bishnu Subedi had convicted Regal as the mastermind behind the 13 July 2015 murder of Manandhar at a hotel in Surkhet Road area and sentenced him to 20 years behind bars.
