She also told her boyfriend about the incident and asked for help to go to the police. But even her boyfriend did not support her. While suffering from mental problems due to the incident, she became addicted to forgetting the pain.
On Friday evening, 48 hours after the release of the first video series, the same young woman released another video, crying, “What is the rule of Nepal?” The court will not take the file if the report is not submitted within a year, ”she said.
“Some people speak slowly, some speak fast, I just know now that the court will return the file even if the file is registered without a report for a year,” she said. A group has staged a sit-in outside the Prime Minister’s official residence in Baluwatar.
Nepali Congress General Secretary and MP Gagan Kumar Thapa has asked to investigate the incident and take action against the culprits. He also said that the deadline management should be reconsidered. After the lawmakers raised questions, Speaker Agni Sapkota has ruled the government to investigate the incident.
Prime Minister’s wife and Congress central member Arju Rana Deuba has also urged the parliament to amend the law on rape. “Violence is a lifelong tragedy for them. For them, time is of the essence,” she said. #So there is no time limit to report such an incident.
Debate over time
The Code of Criminal Procedure, 2074 BS has fixed one year limit for filing a complaint on rape related offenses. In the case of a minor, a complaint must be lodged within one year of reaching the age of 18. The victim was 16 years old at the time of the incident and was a minor at the time. She is now 24 years old and the legal process has become complicated due to exceeding the time limit, according to the police.
But rights activists and activists say the incident is not just a case of ordinary rape but a crime against humanity. Advocate and human rights activist Shashi Basnet says that some countries have a time limit of 15/20 years for such offenses.
“There are instances in some countries where there is no time limit. In Nepal, if the incident happens today, the victim will file a complaint tomorrow,” she said. .
According to him, the parliament should understand that the victims have difficulty in going to the legal process immediately as the society is more protective of the perpetrators than the victims. “Again, all the victims may not have the same reaction due to different physical and mental conditions,” she says.
