KATHMANDU, JANUARY 11

Gaushala-26, a victim of rape, has officially lodged a complaint with the Cyber Bureau of the Nepal Police against an individual who violated her privacy by making her name and photo public.

Bureau spokesperson Pashupati Kumar Ray stated that they have received a complaint from Gaushala-26 regarding the breach of privacy involving the disclosure of the victim's name and photo. Ray added that an investigation into the matter has commenced.

Cricketer Sandeep Lamichhane, convicted of raping Gaushala-26, received an 8-year jail term on Wednesday from the Kathmandu District Court, along with a fine of half a million rupees.

A foreign committee member of the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP), Diwas Sapkota, currently in Japan, released a photo and name of Gaushala-26, thereby violating the victim's privacy.

In response, the RSP has suspended Sapkota in connection with this incident.
