why was the ex-chief justice taken?
The ex-Chief Justice Choleendra Shamsher Jabara was detained for about 12 hours without an arrest warrant and later released, reportedly due to security reasons. The detention happened amid unclear legal reasons and political tensions involving Prime Minister Balen Shah's team. Some reports mention that he was taken to police for protection after threats rather than being formally arrested. Overall, the situation seems linked to political clashes and security concerns rather than a clear legal charge.
