Bale Kami, also known as Bal Bahadur, who is accused of raping a 13-year-old girl from Raskot, has been sent to jail for remand.
Kami, who was arrested on February 11 on charges of raping a girl in January, has been sent to jail on the orders of the Kalikot District Court.
The police investigated and filed a case in court through the District Attorney's Office before sending him to jail for remand, said District Police Chief DSP Him Bahadur Khatri. According to him, Kami was arrested after a complaint was filed that the girl was pregnant after raping her. 'The perpetrator has confessed to the crime with remorse,' he said, 'The case has been taken forward after necessary investigation.'
After the police investigated and submitted the coercion case with an opinion to the court through the Government Attorney's Office, the district court allowed the police to keep him in custody for remand, said the acting judge of the court, Sunil Khand.
Difficulties in protecting the girl
After her father abducted her younger mother and went to India, her mother remarried. The girl, who was under the care of her grandmother at home after her menstruation stopped, was found to have been raped and pregnant. With the help of her aunt, the girl, who filed a case with the police, has been provided with necessary medical assistance and counseling services by the One-Stop Crisis Management Center of the District Hospital and is currently being housed in an emergency shelter of Sosec Nepal.
The organization has stated that it will not be able to keep the shelter for a long time due to lack of budget, which has created a challenge for the girl's protection. 'It is even more risky to return the girl to her village,' said Sosec Nepal's psychologist, Apeksha Singh Basnet. 'We have made arrangements for food and shelter along with counseling services so far, but we cannot keep her there for long.' She said that the girl needs safe shelter and education.
