In a recent series of social media ablaze Krishna Bahadur Mahara speaker of the House of Representative of Nepal resigned following an accusation of rape by Roshani Shahi. One after the other sequence, the case took twist and turns with videos and interview release by Roshani which has created a situation of chaos.
The case started when Roshani was interview by hamrokura.com which published a report on September 30, where Roshani accuses Mahara of raping her and then brutally physical assaulting her own residence. The report speaks how Mahara came to her rented apartment located at Tinkune on Sunday evening and raped her and the ordeal. She talks loud about the details of the incident and further shows the communication happening in between them
After few days, she reports in a press conference of the allegation to be false. The whole country was shocked with questions of what happened that night and suddenly this week she files a case in the police station of attempt to rape against Krishna Mahara.
This case clearly raises few things
1. Vulnerability of accusation of sexual harassment
2. High position people wrongly using power
3. Impact of such acts upon public
4. Role and scope of Nepal Police
The question here is not just about an allegation it’s a broader issue of how and Roshani has been changing her statement. The main question why she is doing so? Is it because of the security issue or is it that Nepal police has not been able to do the procedural work?
The truth has to come out whoever is the guilty and the guilty must brought to the book.
In view of the controversy the secretariat of Nepal Communist Party (NCP) had pressurized Mahara to resign from the post of Speaker of the House of Representatives and has been demanding a resignation from his post of parliament member as well.
