A man, who attempted to rape a woman, was smeared soot and made to walk around the village with shoe-garland before villagers slashed him Rs 200,000 fine, in Kailali district recently. On Friday night, the suspect Krishna Chaudhary of Kailari Rural Municipality-1 had made a rape attempt on a woman at her house in the same village of the district. The victim, who had managed to escape the scene, said, “The perpetrator beat me up while I tried to retaliate against him.” However, the villagers held Chaudhary after the victim screamed for help in the night. “Chaudhary was tied up whole night before the villagers gathered next morning to smear soot and make him walk around the village with shoe-garland before slashing Rs 200,000 fine,” one of the locals said in a telephonic conversation. Moreover, the victim had pleaded for immediate action rather than filing a police report which ultimately convinced villagers to take actions on their own. Halusia Police Post chief, Sub Inspector of Police Shankar Pant said, “The locals had smeared soot on the suspect without reporting the case to the police.” “I have reached the incident site; the details of the case would be furnished after further investigations,” Pant added. Meanwhile, after the villagers took action against the suspect, he has been on the run and a man hunt has been launched to nab him, Pant shared. कैलारी गाउँपालिका–१, दक्षिण मन्झरामा स्थानीय महिलालार्इ बलात्कार गर्न खोजेको अभियोगमा स्थानीयबासीले एक व्यक्तिलार्इ कालोमोसो दल्नुका साथै जुत्ताको माला लगाएका छन्। स्थानीय कृष्णप्रसाद चौधरी (टुक्की) ले २३ गते राति १२ बजेतिर स्थानीय महिलामाथि जबरजस्ती गर्न खोज्दा स्थानीयले पक्राउ गरेका थिए । कामको सिलसिलामा श्रीमान बाहिर गएको मौका छोपी राति घरमा आएर आफूमाथि जबरजस्ती गर्न खोजेको पीडित महिलाले बताएकी छिन् । जबरजस्ती गर्न खोजेपछि उनले गुहार मागेपछि स्थानीयहरु आएर टुक्कीलाई पक्राउ गरेका थिए । चैत्र २४ गते गाउँका स्थानीय महिलाहरुले टुक्कीलाई कालोमोसो साथै जुत्ताको माला लगाएका थिए । स्थानीय भल्मन्सा लगायतको उपस्थितमा दुईलाख दण्ड जरिवाना गर्नुका साथै आइन्दा यस्तो गल्ती कहिल्यै नगर्ने भनि माफी मगाएका छन् ।
