Kathmandu. Artist Sagar Lamsal has been arrested. SSP Ramesh Thapa of the District Police Range, Kathmandu, confirmed that he was taken into custody from Budhanilkantha.
A young woman currently residing in the United States had accused him of rape. The woman alleges that Lamsal raped her in the United States a year ago.
Following this, there was widespread pressure to investigate Lamsal.
Clarifying the incident, she stated: 'During our conversation, Sagar Lamsal asked, "Let me see where you live." Trusting someone I had known for over 10 years and considered an elder brother, I took him to show my apartment. While sitting in the apartment, the topic of my health came up. I shared all my struggles—I cried and explained how difficult things were. I did not know that the person I considered a brother, whom my family treated as one of our own, was actually a monster. I was raped.'
