The Kathmandu District Court on Sunday remanded Nepali Congress lawmaker Maya Rai to three days in judicial custody.

The Kathmandu Valley Crime Investigation Office on Saturday night apprehended Rai from her residence in Kapan for misappropriating the funds of Kalimati-based Swarnalaxmi Savings and Credit Cooperative Society.

Rai, who is also a Nepali Congress central leader, had been at large for a long time after the Kathmandu District Court issued an arrest warrant against her on cooperative fraud and organized crime.

She was working as the joint secretary by staying on the Cooperative’s board of directors.

She has been kept at the District Police Range, Kathmandu in Bhadrakali.

Meanwhile, police have informed the Parliament members about the arrest of lawmaker Rai.
