KATHMANDU: Nepali Congress (NC) central committee Dr Dila Shangraula has condemned the death after rape of a 12-year-old girl from Masta Rural Municipality-2 in Bajhang district.
In a press statement, Dr Shangraula has demanded immediate arrest of the rapist and take action against those involved in the heinous crime.
It may be noted that a preliminary investigation into the case has found out that the minor was raped and murdered.
The cases of caste-based violence have been on rise lately across the country. The murder of Nawaraj BK and five others in Rukum Paschim incident last May was glaring examples of caste-based violence.
Similarly, NC has called out the inability of the government to identify the culprit of the Nirmala rape-and-murder case in 2018.
