Women related crime and violence is a major problem in most underdeveloped countries. Nepal is also prone to such social problems. Two months before a 13-year-old girl from Kanchanpur district was brutally raped and found murdered in a cornfield. This horrific incident gained a lot of attention because the locals say that people related to the police authorities are involved in the incident. The police are not directly related but they want to protect some extremely powerful personals. There was a public demonstration staged in order to protest against the incident. During the protest, police fired at two people who got killed. This incident gained a lot of outcry in the social media. Parents of Nirmala have told that the police authorities have become passive in this case. They also used harsh words against them when they pleaded for justice. Because of this irresponsive behavior, they have come to Kathmandu valley in order to seek help from the human rights activist and public. Yagya Raj, the father of Nirmala said that he will do whatever it takes order to gain justice for this little daughter. He is ready to meet up the recently elected prime minister KP Oli and demand justice. They have received a lot of support from the resident, The Press and the human rights activists in Kathmandu valley. A massive rally was held in Kathmandu yesterday also demanding justice for the 13-year-old girl from Kanchanpur.
