It was the same organisation that gave Bollywood stars Manisha Koirala and Govinda to the media when they were passing through Nepal. However, on Wednesday, the well-connected Dhamala, whose contacts included Maoist Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal Prachanda, deputy premier and home minister Bam Dev Gautam and other ministers, industrialists, politicians and foreign envoys, hit the headlines for a different reason. The Metropolitan Police said the high-flying journalist has been arrested Tuesday for being involved with an underground organisation and is likely to be charged with violating the Arms Act and even treason.
