18 Chait, Birgunj. An employee of Madhesh University in Birganj has been arrested on charges of abuse (creating immoral pressure) on a female student. Raju Gaddi working in the administration branch was arrested by the team of District Police Office Parsa.

According to the police, Gaddi was constantly pressuring a female student for an immoral relationship. As mentioned in the complaint, he promised to help in the examination if he accepted the proposal and threatened to ‘reduce marks’ and fail if he refused.

The victim girl alleged that Gaddi, who initially approached her on the pretext of help, later started sending inappropriate messages through phone and social media. It is also mentioned in the complaint that after rejecting the offer, he threatened to end his educational future. Based on this, the student filed a complaint on March 14.

According to police, Gaddi, who was absconding after the complaint, was searched and arrested. Parsa Police spokesperson Hari Bahadur Basnet informed that the legal process against the accused has been advanced and further investigation of the incident is ongoing.

As the incident became public, it is suspected that other female students may have been subjected to similar abuse within the university. It is a serious matter that such activity by the staff within the educational institution has raised questions about the safety and academic dignity of the students.

Meanwhile, it is said that the arrested Gaddi is the nephew of the former Chief Minister of Madhesh Province, Lal Babu Raut. An incident related to a person with high access has brought this case into more discussion.
