About this video
In this video, we bring you the full story behind a major political development in Nepal that has resurfaced after 411 days. Lumbini Province Assembly Member Rekha Sharma has finally been arrested, a case that has once again sparked nationwide debate and public attention.
Around 411 days ago, during a survey conducted by the Kathmandu Metropolitan City, a shocking case of alleged child labor and abuse was uncovered. A minor girl, who had been working in Rekha Sharma’s house for nearly six years, reportedly revealed that she had been subjected to physical abuse, forced labor, and had not been allowed to meet her family during that entire period.
Following the discovery, the Kathmandu Metropolitan team rescued the minor and placed her in a child protection home. However, despite the seriousness of the allegations, an investigation later led to a controversial decision by the government attorney’s office and the Office of the Attorney General not to file a case against Rekha Sharma at that time. This decision raised serious questions about political influence, misuse of power, and the fairness of the justice system in Nepal.
Back then, Kathmandu Mayor Balen Shah publicly reacted on social media, stating that “time will come.” Now, exactly 411 days later, with Rekha Sharma’s arrest, his statement has resurfaced and is widely being discussed across social media platforms.
This case highlights critical issues such as child labor in Nepal, abuse allegations, political protection, delayed justice, and accountability within the system. It also raises an important question—was justice delayed, or was it deliberately avoided?
In this video, we cover the complete timeline of the Rekha Sharma case, Balen Shah’s earlier statement, the details of the allegations, why no case was filed initially, and what led to the arrest after 411 days.
