Agni Sapkot has been charged with the involvement in kidnapping and killing of Arjun Lama in the Kavre District six years ago but in the summer of 2007, the District Police Office of the Kavre District refused to register the case stating all the incidents occurred during the conflict would be taken by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. In the autumn of 2007, the Supreme Court of Nepal has ordered the District Police Office of the Kavre District to register the case.
