Nepal has barred Sobhraj from entering the country for 10 years, said Pradashanie Kumari, the acting director general of the immigration department.Nepalese police escort Charles Sobhraj, in brown cap, to an immigration office, in Kathmandu, Nepal, on Friday. He was dubbed the "bikini killer" in Thailand, and "the serpent," for his evasion of police and use of disguises, and he has been the subject of several dramatizations, including a Netflix and BBC joint production released last year.Nihita Biswas, who claims to be the wife of Charles Sobhraj, walks outside the Department of Immigration in Kathmandu, as Sobhraj was taken inside after his release from prison.
Sobhraj denied killing the American woman and his lawyers said the charge against him was based on assumption.But Sobhraj was suspected of many more murders, including in Thailand, where police say he allegedly drugged and killed six women in the 1970s, some of whom turned up dead on a beach near the resort of Pattaya.He was jailed in India for poisoning a group of French tourists in the capital, New Delhi, in 1976, before he could stand trial on the charges against him in Thailand.
