Lumbini: The Rupandehi District Prison has informed that former deputy prime minister Rabi Lamichhane’s security was taken into account while managing his imprisonment.

Issuing a press statement on Friday, the prison administration said Lamichhane, who is currently in Bhairahawa-based prison facing a cooperative fraud case, has been provided a separate room.
