In the case of attempted rape of a minor, it has been found that the ward office made a deal with the accused 25 times. It was found that a settlement was reached on Thursday in the presence of the people's representative in Pokhara Metropolitan City-29 in the case of forced labor industry.
At 2 am on Wednesday morning, 30-year-old Suman Bhandari, a local, entered the room where the girl was sleeping through a latticed window. He was drunk and pulled the swing on the girl's bed. Just then the girl woke up and screamed. When she got up and lit the lamp, she saw the steward.
After he pleaded, Bhandari left his mobile phone and fled from there. The girl's family informed the Toll Development Committee the next day. The committee apologized to the young man.
The relatives of the girl went to the ward president's house on Thursday after they did not feel they had received justice. In the afternoon, Ward President Sri Prasad Gurung held a discussion with the toll development committee, women's group, local leaders, the accused youth and the victim's family.
After the discussion, with the involvement of the ward secretary, the accused was made to stand up 25 times and cover the feet of the victim girl. The Criminal Code, 2074 has provided for imprisonment of 18 to 20 years for the perpetrator if he commits an offense related to sexual assault on a girl under 14 years of age or more than 10 years. In the industry related to
ing, it is half the punishment. Bhandari can be sentenced to 9 to 10 years in prison if the girl reports to the police and is found guilty. There is a legal provision that no plea agreement can be made in crimes punishable by imprisonment for more than three years.
The local level does not have the right to take action in cases related to such crimes. In cases where a report should be made to the police, the ward went outside the jurisdiction and made a settlement.
Ward president Gurung apologized to the young man and said that he would not do this again and decided to take legal action if he did.
'If there had been rape, action would have been taken, thankfully no major incident happened,' he said, 'after coming to the ward, we have only coordinated. We gave the victim the right to make an independent decision. The path of legal treatment is also open if there is no satisfaction.
He claims that the accused apologized many times, promised not to repeat the mistake in the future and that the victim also forgave the settlement. "Don't let it affect the child who is studying, he should do Kanyadan tomorrow, he should not get into legal trouble," he said.
Ward Secretary Durga Neupane has claimed that she did not put any pressure on the victim's family to settle. If it had been rape, I would not have been forgiven. "The victim's family has forgiven the young man after looking at his family situation," she said, "The girl is also undergoing an examination now, and a compromise was made because there would be a lot of stress in the case."
'It cannot be said that another incident will not happen when matchmaking happens again, the safety of the girl child may also be in danger,' she said, 'People's representatives did not show seriousness regarding the legal provision to discourage matchmaking.' If a person holding a public position does or causes to be committed, he will be sentenced to an additional 6 months imprisonment.
