Kathmandu, July 6
One person has been arrested on charges of raping a minor.
The person allegedly raped a 16-year-old girl who he picked up from Nepal’s most popular club, Lord of the Drinks.
The incident happened on June 14.
According to Nepal Police, Sudan Bahadur Koirala has been accused of taking the girl to Lalitpur and raping her.
The girl filed a report at the Bagdol Police on June 15, informed SSP Siddhi Bikram Shah.
Police arrested Koirala and began an investigation. Koirala in his statement has said underage girls are not allowed to enter clubs and thus claims the girl is not a minor.
In response to the statement, the police have shifted their focus towards LOD for allegedly allowing a minor to enter the premises. The operators of LOD, Rudeel Shrestha and Raju Singh Suwal, are now under investigation by the authorities.
District Court Patan has issued an arrest warrant against the two.
