The police have detained the person who assaulted senior advocate Dinesh Tripathi outside the Kathmandu District Court and have given them seven days to investigate. Lalit Kumar KC was arrested after the incident on Wednesday.
The arrested KC has been detained in Sihandarbar Circle. According to the police, he has said in his statement that he is a real estate dealer. But the police have not found any evidence about whether he is a member of Rashtriya Swatantra Party (RASWPA) or not.
