A Nepal Police constable then took authority of her, took her to a hotel, and proceeded to rape her that night. This blatant crime against a Nepali citizen, perpetrated by a Nepali government official and a Nepali police constable, must be addressed by the government immediately. The crime is all the more horrific because the robbery was perpetrated on someone who had worked with great difficulty in a foreign nation to support her family. We urge your office and the Home Ministry to immediately investigate this case and set an example of how violence against women will not be tolerated in Nepal.  We urge you to use the vast resources
