His latest Instagram post, posted three days ago, was tagged at a hotel in St Lucia.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;The district court has issued an arrest warrant against Sandeep Lamichhane for further investigation,&quot; Dinesh Mainali, a spokesman for Kathmandu district police, told AFP.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Police said Wednesday that they might seek the assistance of law enforcement overseas, or Interpol, if he was not in Nepal.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>Also Read: <\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/live-cricket-score\">Asia Cup 2022 Scorecard<\/a><\/p><p>Lamichhane was named captain of Nepal&#39;s national team last year.<br \/>\r\n&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
