Province 1, Morang, Biratnagar, Ward 1
An incident of attempted rape on an 11-year-old girl in Jahada Rural Municipality-1 of Morang was kept 'secret' for a week as the village leaders and neighbours pressured the victim's family by showing financial temptation and did not allow them to file a complaint at the police.
The victim's family finally lodged the complaint on February 25 on the charge of repeatedly attempting to rape the girl on February 18. However, the 45-year-old accused Rajendra Sarwariya had absconded after a complaint was lodged. Police said that those who tried to settle the incident and put pressure on the victims will also be investigated.
