Kathmandu, March 11
The Mayor of a town in western Nepal where a 20-year-old woman was brutally assaulted on Thursday will face action from his party, the CPN UML.
The ruling party has also decided to seek clarification from Ghoda Ghodi Municipality Mayor Mamata Prasad Chaudhary who remained a mute spectator even as ‘witch doctor’ Ram Bahadur Chaudhary assaulted 20-year-old Radha Chaudhary for over six hours.
“The party has already sought a verbal clarfication from the Mayor. We will now set-up a committee to investigate the incident,” UML Province 2 chief Jhapat Rawal told Onlinekhabar. Rawal said that the party’s district committee had been ordered to investigate the incident.
According to reports, not only did Mayor Chaudhary fail to act in time to save the victim, he put pressure on local police to release the main suspect in the case. Rawal said that the Distritct Administration has been urged to take action against everyone involved in the case.
Meanwhile, Mayor Chaudhary denies he was involved in the case.
