Kathmandu, October 13: An audio recording allegedly featuring Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) lawmaker Khagendra Sunar verbally abusing, threatening and demanding money from a woman identified as a former Bagmati Province minister has triggered controversy and calls for accountability.
Published by Jana Aastha on Monday, the recording reportedly contains several conversations in which a male voice attributed to Sunar uses abusive language, threatens violence and pressures the woman to resign from her political position. The woman can also be heard alleging physical abuse and saying that a private nude video of her had been recorded without her consent.
The publication has raised serious questions about alleged domestic abuse, intimidation and the misuse of personal relationships by a public representative. The allegations have drawn criticism on social media, with calls for an investigation and possible action against the lawmaker.
The controversy also puts the RSP under scrutiny over how it responds to serious allegations against its elected representatives, particularly given the party’s public emphasis on good governance and accountability.
However, the authenticity and full context of the recordings have not been independently established in the reports reviewed. Sunar’s response to the allegations was not included in Jana Aastha’s report, which said attempts to contact him were unsuccessful.
The allegations now raise a central question: will the controversy lead to an independent investigation and due process, or remain a political dispute without a clear public account of what happened?
