Police have arrested Nepali Congress (NC) spokesperson, Krishna Sitaula, from his residence Wednesday morning.

A press statement issued by the NC said he was arrested at around 8.00 in the morning.

Sitaula was earlier arrested from the domestic wing of Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA) in Kathmandu while he was on his way to the eastern town of Biratnagar on February 10 and released on Monday (Feb 20) following the Supreme Court’s order.

Sitaula was one of the senior NC leader coordinating the election boycott programme called by the seven party opposition alliance.

A press statement issued by the NC condemned the incident and demanded immediate release of Sitaula.
