Rape victim Puja passed in First Division

SN Reporter,

Kathmandu, 14 January 2016: The victim of gang rape Puja Bohara passed her Grade XI with the higher marks of division.

pujaAccording to the result published today by Higher Secondary Education Board (HSEB), Puja has upgraded with the appreciable number 70 %. from grade 11 to 12.

Puja was raped by Sagar Bhatta of Bhumeswar 3  Baitadi, and Amar Awasthi of Gujar 2  while going to buy guess paper of Mathematics  for SLC examination. In 2013, both of them were fined 50 thousand Rupees and imprisonment of 13 years by the justice Himalaya Pathak at district court Baitadi. But, taking the appeal into its hearing the appellate court of Kanchanpur had proved innocent. The decision of the division bench consisting of justices Narabahadur Shahi and Ramesh Prasad Rajbhandari of appellate Court is now challenged by Puja Bohara at the Supreme Court.

Puja Bohara was surprised when she knew that the rapists were released. She had also written an open letter to then minister for law and justice Narahari Aacharya through the media. She had raised the question that either to punish her if she  was wrong or she would condemn the perpetrators to be punished. In answer  affirmatively, then minister Aacharya also had assured her to guarantee full justice. The minister  had also thanked to Raksha Nepal for providing shelter to Puja Bohara.

After the media discussion through the open letter to the minister Aacharya and Ms Bohara former Prime minister Baburam Bhattarai had also spoken out on national dailies expressing his commitment to provide justice to Bohara.

After the result Menuka Thapa, chairperson of the Raksha Nepal that provides shelter to Puja and more rape victims, has expressed contentment on her facebook this evening.

Thapa has thanked to all well-wishers and  quoted that Puja does deserve the highest level of courage and conviction. She has also achieved many more awards and medals in different level sports and examinations like Gold medal for Nepal in an International Taekwondo Competition in Korea, Distinction in SLC examination and more… But the criminals are still moving around. Supreme Court has not made any meaningful effort for sentencing them. But, because of the well-wish of all of you Puja will have the justice in our lifetime. Puja you are reall ‘Puja able’ worship-able, you are our pride…

Talking to this online Puja also expressed her happiness though she couldn’t obtain expected per cent of number in exam. She added that I want to be a judge in future studying the Law so that she could punish the criminals in future and maintain the law and order.

Here Puja Bohara is too much worried about the case. She is waiting for justice from Supreme Court. She is more worrying for not finalizing the case and leaving the rapist open. Bohara is begging justice in front of Supreme Court. ‘It is more painful to see the rapist innocent rather than being raped’,Says Puja.

Puja and Menuka Thapa both expressed lots of thanks to American women right activist Leslie Brown who has been supporting for the education of Puja.
