An online newspaper published the following photo showing CPN UML district level leader Resham Bahadur Baniya and his new wife Sushila Pandey being punished by the locals for polygamy charges. The 72-year-old Baniya had recently married the 26-year-old Sushila, while his other wife, Min Kumari is still living with him.
It is a sad incident to to see such a leader doing such a social crime. But, the locals in the area also do not have any rights to punish anybody by their own decisi
ons. There has to be proper legal procedure to be followed before anybody is punished for their crime.
