Lamichhane,
however,
denied
the
charges
saying
he
is
innocent,
a
media
report
here
said
quoting
the
Cricket
Association
of
Nepal
(CAN).
During
a
telephonic
conversation
with
CAN
officials,
he
claimed
that
he
is
innocent.
He
said
he
would
return
to
Nepal
after
the
Caribbean
Premier
League
(CPL).
“I
am
innocent.
I’ve
decided
to
take
a
leave
from
CPL
and
go
back
to
my
country
within
a
few
days.
I
am
ready
to
face
all
these
baseless
allegations,”
Lamichhane
later
tweeted
on
the
rape
complaint
against
him.
However,
the
Nepal
association
has
suspended
him
from
all
forms
of
cricket
until
the
completion
of
the
probe
by
police.
The
teenaged
girl
filed
an
FIR
at
Gaushala
Metropolitan
Police
Circle
here
on
Tuesday
in
which
she
accused
22-year-old
Lamichhane
of
raping
her
in
a
hotel
in
Kathmandu
three
weeks
ago.
According
to
the
case,
Sandeep
allegedly
took
the
girl
to
various
places
in
Kathmandu
and
Bhaktapur
for
a
visit
on
August
21
and
raped
her
in
a
hotel
in
Kathmandu
the
same
night.
Police,
however,
said
they
are
collecting
evidence,
including
CCTV
footage.
They
said
nothing
could
be
said
without
an
investigation.
Lamichhane
is
currently
playing
in
the
Caribbean
Premier
League.
His
first
international
breakthrough
came
when
he
became
the
first
cricketer
from
Nepal
to
play
in
the
IPL
when
he
made
his
debut
for
the
Delhi
Capitals
in
2018.
He
was
recently
appointed
captain
of
Nepal’s
national
cricket
team.
