Speaker Agni Prasad Sapkota has directed the government to investigate the incident of sexual violence against a girl who took part in beauty pageant.

Speaking at a meeting of the Federal Parliament on Friday, Speaker Sapkota directed the government to expedite the investigation into the incident and bring the culprits to justice.

The Speaker issued the ruling to bring the culprits to justice after lawmaker Gagan Thapa demanded an investigation into the sexual violence against the girl who participated in the beauty pageant.

Earlier this morning, youths staged a demonstration outside the residence of Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba demanding justice to the rape victim.

They have demanded investigation into the incident and action against the culprits.

Earlier on Wednesday, the girl came out with a series of videos on TikTok claiming that she was drugged and raped in 2014 when she was16-year-old.
