Khadka held from UML HQ for calling CM Rai a ‘rapist’



KATHMANDU: Balika Khadka has been arrested from the CPN-UML headquarters in Thapathali.

Khadka was arrested from the office premises after he called Province 1 Chief Minister Sherdhan Rai a ‘rapist’.

The UML headquarters was shifted from Dhumbarahi to Thapathali this morning.

Police arrested Khadka after she made abusive comments to Chief Minister Rai who had come to participate in the program.

Originally from Dolakha, Khadka had been accusing Rai of abusing and raping her since a long time.

Earlier, she had also filed a case at the District Court Kathmandu seeking alimony from Rai alleging that he was her husband. But she had withdrawn the case for lack of sufficient evidence.
