I read the following news in nepalnews.com

In what may be seen as the height of irresponsibility, Netra Bahadur Karki, a police constable at the Tudaldevi police post in Bishalnagar raped a thirteen-year-old girl Saturday afternoon.

Karki stationed at the ward police office in Kamalpokhari and assigned on duty at the Tudaldevi police post, raped the girl inside the police post after gagging her. The girl had come to visit her sister and her brother in law who run a small teashop in the area.

Karki has been taken into custody for departmental action, police sources said.

The above news says that it was the height of irresponsibility.height of irresponsibility?
Some people don't know a heinous crime when they see one. And he has been taken for departmental action? Why is he not jailed?

My reaction was the same. The guy should be prosecuted and if found guilty, punished according to the law. How are we supposed to feel sorry for cops when we hear of such an outrage? Nepalese people do not trust police for a good reason. There are bad apples in every group, but you hear tales of such crimes by cops way too often. Criminals like this one should be made examples of, if police force is to change the way it is perceived by the public. But then, they probably dont care about their public image anyway.
