What about ‘Gaushala 26’?

The survivor has been rendered invisible ever since she filed the case against Sandeep Lamichhane.

The haste with which the Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN) has lifted the ban on Sandeep Lamichhane, the rape-accused former national men’s cricket team captain, just days after he was released from custody on bail, once again exposes entrenched misogyny in Nepal’s public institutions. Ever since the accusations against Lamichhane came to light, the association has tried to give him the benefit of doubt, if not to establish his innocence. The cricket governing body, led by a man (of course!), seems to be in a hurry to sanitise the image of one of its disgraced members, possibly in the fear that his legal prosecution and banishment from the game could start a domino effect; it is hard to believe that those looking to protect Lamichhane, despite the overwhelming evidence of wrongdoing against him, don’t have something to hide themselves.
