Finland-based Nepali woman harassed online over name mix-up

Sangam Bista was linked to a sexual assault case in the US and flooded with abuse on social media.

Sangam Bista, a Surkhet resident working in Finland for the past two years, rarely prioritised social media. However, something unusual happened on the night of April 3. A 'digital tsunami' crossed oceans to shatter her peace. Due to a name confusion with another Sangam Bista living in the United States, she became the target of relentless cyberbullying.
