why was a former cj detained suddenly?
Former Chief Justice Choleendra Shamsher Jabara was suddenly detained for about 12 hours without an arrest warrant. The detention happened at midnight and was reportedly under pressure from the Prime Minister's Secretariat. Officially, no formal charges or complaints were disclosed against him. Authorities cited security reasons and alleged threats from 'Janajati' groups as justification for the detention, which led to legal and political backlash. Eventually, he was released and handed over to his family for protection due to these security concerns.
