Central member and Kathmandu Valley bureau in charge of Netra Bikram Chand-led CPN Maila Lama has been arrested Saturday midnight.

Another Chand cadre Resham Tamang was also arrested along with Lama by a team of the Metropolitan Police Crime Division from Kandaghari at 12:30 in the night after a special tipoff, according to chief of the division SSP Sahakul Bahadur Thapa.

Lama, of Sitapaila, Kathmandu, had initially joined Mohan Baidya’s party following a split in the then CPN (Maoist) and then joined Chand-led CPN. He was also a candidate for the first Constituent Assembly (CA) election from Kathmandu.

He is considered an influential leader of the Chand-led CPN.
