Nepal Seeks Interpol's Help To Find Cricket Team Captain Over Rape Case

Nepali police have sought help from Interpol to locate the country's fugitive suspended national cricket captain, they said Tuesday.

A Nepali court issued an arrest warrant for Sandeep Lamichhane earlier this month following an allegation of rape by a 17-year-old girl.

But the leg-spinner is thought to have remained in the Caribbean where he was playing in a tournament.

Interpol issued a "diffusion" notice against him on Sunday asking member countries for their co-operation locating him, Nepali police spokesperson Tek Prasad Rai told AFP.
