KATHMANDU: OCT. 11 – A sit-in is underway at Kathmandu’s Maiti Ghar for justice for Sunni Dhobi and Nirmala Kurmi, who were killed in domestic violence in Banke. The family members of 15 victims, who arrived in Kathmandu after a 20-day journey from Nepalgunj, have staged a sit-in at the family home demanding justice for the victims.

They allege that the local police administration delayed the registration of the case and did not arrest the culprit even though Nankunni and Nirmala were killed with the connivance of their families. The victim’s family had walked from Nepalgunj on Sept. 17 demanding action against the culprit.
