Giri Bahadur Sunar, proposed as Nepal’s residential ambassador to Saudi Arabia, has denied allegations of gender-based violence, financial extortion and deportation from Germany, as scrutiny of his proposed appointment continues. Sunar says the gender-based violence allegation stems from a verbal argument over the phone and insists he did not commit violence. He has also denied the other allegations and said the matter involving the dispute was settled at a police office.
Sunar’s response to the allegations
Sunar has rejected the serious accusations raised against him, including claims of gender-based violence and financial extortion. He has also denied being deported from Germany. His denials come amid attention to his proposed appointment as Nepal’s residential ambassador to Saudi Arabia.
On the gender-based violence allegation, Sunar described the incident as a verbal disagreement over the phone. He said he did not engage in gender-based violence and maintained that the allegation did not accurately describe what happened. Sunar also said he reached a settlement at the police office.
The available account does not provide further details about the phone argument, the parties involved, when it occurred or the terms of the reported settlement. It also does not detail the specific circumstances behind the financial-extortion or Germany-deportation allegations. Sunar has denied those allegations, but the information available does not include further explanation from him about them.
Proposed appointment draws attention
The allegations and Sunar’s denials have drawn attention because he has been proposed for the residential ambassador’s post in Saudi Arabia. The appointment remains described as proposed; the available information does not say that he has taken up the position.
The competing claims are distinct from a confirmed finding about the allegations. Sunar’s account is that the gender-based violence claim concerns a verbal argument and that the matter was settled at a police office. The available summary does not provide additional information about any investigation, official determination or other response to the claims.
His denial of the Germany-deportation allegation and the financial-extortion allegation is also part of his broader rejection of the accusations. No further supporting details or responses from other parties are included in the available account. As a result, the information presented establishes Sunar’s stated position, but does not supply details with which to independently assess each allegation.
What is known about the dispute
The central points in Sunar’s response are that he denies committing gender-based violence, characterizes the incident as a verbal disagreement over the phone, and says there was a settlement at a police office. He has also denied financial extortion and having been deported from Germany. These denials have emerged while his proposed diplomatic posting is attracting attention.
Further information about the allegations, the reported settlement and the status of the proposed appointment would be needed to establish more about the case. For now, Sunar’s position is a categorical denial of the serious accusations, alongside his account of the phone argument and police-office settlement.
