Former Maoist Leader Claims 5-Story House in Public Trial, Alleges Participation in Gambling, Loss

Former Maoist commander Avadh Rupam Pakki Sangrachan alleged ownership of a five-story building during a public trial, stating that he had participated in gambling activities and faced defeat. Pakki Sangrachan further claimed that the residence belonged to him and questioned whether the government had the right to confiscate it. The public prosecutor disputed Pakki Sangrachan's ownership claims and argued that the building should be seized as it was acquired through illegal means. The court will continue to hear arguments in the case.
