- Kathmandu police said Thursday the two leaders were freed after the Supreme Court’s charge-or-release deadline and a decision not to register a case.
- The release is conditional, and both men must present themselves to police when called.
- The pair were arrested on March 28 on murder-related allegations drawn from an inquiry into the deadly 2025 youth protests.

- Separately, officials issued money-laundering warrants for former prime minister Sher Bahadur Deuba and his wife, signaling a broader wave of legal probes.
