KATHMANDU: An appeal has been filed at the High Court Biratnagar against the Sunsari District Court’s decision to give a clean chit to Krishna Das Giri alias Siddhababa.
The government prosecutor on last Friday filed the appeal at the High Court Biratnagar, challenging the decision of the Sunsari District Court.
District Court, Sunsari on December 7 last year had acquitted Krishna Das Giri alias Siddhababa of the charge of raping a follower.
Giri was arrested after his own female disciple lodged a complaint with the police that she was raped at an ashram in Chatara, Sunsari.
A bench of Sunsari District Court Judge Arjun Prasad Koirala gave a clean chit to Giri citing lack of evidence.
Earlier, Giri was remanded to custody by the Sunsari District Court, Biratnagar High Court, and the Supreme Court.
He had then filed a petition at the district court seeking a verdict against the order.
