Alcohol use a driving cause behind domestic violence in Makawanpur

Although most victims of domestic violence choose to settle their cases out of court, more women are coming forward with complaints against their perpetrators these days, police say.

Devaki Theeng of Bhimphedi Rural Municipality-1 lodged a complaint in October last year with the Police Women’s Cell against her husband Aaite Theeng for physically and verbally abusing her under the influence of alcohol.
