A nepali student gang-raped in India

A 21 year old nepali student studying Law in Nagarbhavi near Jnanabharathi Campus of National Law School of India University, Banglore was allegedly raped by a gang of eight near the university premises at 9:30 pm Saturday, 13th October, 2012.

She was out with one of her friend at around 8 pm in a car. They were stopped by a group of men and asked for money and valuables. As the friend of the girl went to fetch the wallet, the men dragged her to the deep forest near the road and gang raped her.

There have been innumerable cases of gang rapes in India these years, specially for foreign nationals. Many nepali students have been choosing Indian universities as options for their university study next to Europe and America. In the context of frequent disturbances in universities and campuses in Nepal, many students find Indian universities as good option for their further studies.

It may be a general phenomenon for people but for a student, such assaults ruin their life. We urge all the parents and students to become careful about security issues and make a good research before deciding to join any university. And an important point to keep in mind is that there are good institutions emerging in Nepal as well. It is time to look for good options in nepal itself, one does not have to join foreign university for exposure, we can have an opportunity to get an exposure through conferences and university collaboration. Also, it is important to note that Nepali universities are also on the line to gaining momentum regarding their status as International.
