Alleged audio clip of RSP lawmaker Khagendra Sunar: police begin internal inquiry

Police have begun an internal inquiry after an audio clip surfaced in which Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) lawmaker Khagendra Sunar is alleged to have abused a woman using disrespectful language.

In the audio that has surfaced, a man can be heard using obscene abuse and making threats against a woman. The audio is alleged to be of lawmaker Sunar. Since the audio surfaced, lawmaker Sunar has come under controversy.

However, police have not yet launched a formal investigation into the matter. Media reports state that police are awaiting instructions, citing the absence of a complaint and the lack of directives from the Home Ministry.

Questions have been raised over the fact that, despite the allegation against the lawmaker being linked to violence against women, the government and state bodies have not taken any action so far.
