Mintara B.K (name changed) 18 of Kohalpur – 4, used to stay with her parents. Earlier in 2010, she met Pawan Pun Magar who was new to her village through her village uncle. Mintara and Pawan became very in short span of time and then Pawan proposed her for marriage. Mintara had already started liking Pawan and therefore she readily accepted and ran away with him. Pawan very tactfully crossed the border and took her to Delhi. There he left Mintara saying that he would go to Panjab for some income generation. As he left, she was taken to a brothel and was treated very inhumanly.
“I was compelled to entertain 20 to 25 men per day”, said Mintara after escaping and coming back to Nepal. Due to so much of sexual exploitation, she got ill and was taken to hospital for treatment from where she managed to flee and with the help of a Nepali citizen, came back to Nepal. After returning, she filed the case against Pawan Pun Magar with the help of CeLRRd and Pawan is now arrested. CeLRRd represented her case in District court which sentenced 20 years imprisonment and 2 lakhs fine. NRs.50,000 was provided as compensation to her. The case was also won at Appellate Court, Banke.
