Justice for Nirmala Panta


Justice for Nirmala Panta
The Issue
Nirmala Panta, a 13-year-old girl from Kanchanpur, Nepal, was found raped and murdered in a sugarcane field near her home on 27 July 2018, after she had gone missing the day before. The news of the incident went viral on social media and received widespread condemnation. Various justice campaigns and mass protests were organised throughout the country in the subsequent days and months to put pressure on the government and the police. On 20 August, Kanchanpur District Police Office had presented a suspect. However, locals refused to accept him as the culprit and demanded his release, accusing the police of framing him.
Panta's body had been found stripped bare, and the autopsy concluded that she had been raped and cause of death cited as "throttling leading to asphyxia and death". The first investigation carried out by the local police and a team from the Crime Investigation Bureau (CIB) drew widespread criticism for its methods and conduct.
This incident has been over two and a half years. Nirmala Pant is yet to get justice. Has Nepal's judicial system been distorted? Are Nepal's police so weak that they have yet to find evidence? After all, what is the reason that the Nirmala case got so late?
