Kathmandu, Nepal: Rupa Sunar from Nepal has lodged a complaint with the Press Council against 9 online media outlets of Nepal for spreading rumors about her being a victim of ethnic untouchability.

She has lodged a complaint against Khabarmala, Nepal Paana, Kalapani, Media 20 Post, Ilakapani, Aajko Naya, Saja Media, Galaxy Seven Express, and Nepal Pahara.com.

She had lodged a complaint against Saraswati Shrestha saying that she refused when she found out that she was a Dalit. Shrestha has been released for now.
