Sabita Bhandari

Sabita Bhandari (Nepali: सविता भण्डारी) is the current attorney general of Nepal appointed by current President Ram Chandra Poudel on September 14, 2025 on the recommendation of current interim Prime Minister[1] Sushila Karki.[2]

She is also the first female attorney general of Nepal.[2] She became the attorney general after the resignation of previous attorney general Ramesh Badal.[3]

Sabita Bhandari's involvement in representing Sandeep Lamichhane during his rape case against an 18-year-old girl has made her appointment to attorney general controversial.[4]
