Developments
There has been no investigation even after registering the FIR.
On June 18, 2009, a petition of mandamus was filed at the Appellate Court Nepalgunj by the victim’s family.
On November 18, 2009, the Appellate Court, Nepalgunj issued a mandamus order against the respondents to promptly proceed with the investigations.
Advocacy Forum has repeatedly urged the authorities to implement the court order. In response, they maintain that the army does not respond to their letters.
