Niharika Rajput, 27, and Binu Yadav, 29, staged a sit-in protest at the southern gate of Singha Durbar on July 13, after security personnel prevented them from entering the Ministry of Home Affairs to present their grievances.
According to the victims, Rajput had arranged a gate pass through a female lawmaker from the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) to enter the Ministry of Home Affairs along with her minor son. However, security personnel allegedly denied them entry, citing “orders from higher authorities.”
After being denied access to Singha Durbar, Binu Yadav briefly lay down on the road in protest, while Niharika Rajput, holding her minor son, continued the sit-in near the gate despite the rain.
