How justice providers are intimidated into hiding serious crimes such as rape cases: A case in point

Whereas many rape cases do not even get reported or reach the court, a case from Lalitpur that reached the court became a victim of the corrupt system and abuse of power.

In a notorious rape case, the accused Sushil Chataut and his family have been found to have influenced the police and the court by threatening and tempting the survivor to bar her from filing the case. The fact came into the light after the Office of the Attorney General transferred government attorney Sangita Thokar , for resisting pressure to “weaken” a rape case.
