Pokhara, December 22
In an inhumane criminal incident involving child rights violation, a hostel warden in Pokhara has allegedly bound a six-year-old child’s penis with a rubber band for hours, on the charge of bedwetting.
Police have arrested Januka Nepali (27), the warden of New Life Hostel, Pokhara-15 in the Kaski district.
The student of nearby Siddhi Ganesh School had gone to his classroom on Monday with his penis fastened with the rubber band. After a few hours, he had cried so painfully that others asked him about the problem and he revealed it, according to the District Police Office.
A native of Dolpa, the child was in Pokhara for the past few years after the death of his father, it has been learned.
Police say they have received a five-day remand to keep Nepali in custody for further investigation.
