KATHMANDU, Sept 19: The family dispute of Chandrakant (CK) Raut, the chairman of the Janamat Party, has reached its peak. Despite Raut filing for divorce from his wife Soni Sindhu Rani, the conflict between the couple remains unresolved.

Both individuals have approached the police, claiming to feel unsafe due to each other. According to the Lalitpur police, Raut visited the Imadol Police Sector a few days ago, requesting peace and security due to feeling unsafe from his wife, Rani.

On Thursday, Raut's wife Rani also went to the Satdobato Police Circle, requesting protection and claiming to feel unsafe due to her husband. However, the police have not yet registered her complaint. “She (Rani) went to the Satdobato Police Circle claiming insecurity from her husband,” said a Lalitpur police source. “The complaint has not yet been registered, but she is in contact with DSP Chitra Bhattarai at the station.”

Police said that the case is currently under consideration. 

Raut filed for divorce from his wife Rani at the Lalitpur District Court on August 28 under the title “Partition and Divorce.”

Raut, who resides in Mahalakshmi Municipality-4 in Lalitpur, filed for divorce due to marital discord. The complaint alleges that his wife frequently visited her parental home and that their relationship had become strained, among other issues, according to Spokesperson Ram Sajiwan Mahato of the court.

“Raut has stated in the divorce petition that his wife repeatedly asked for a divorce and even attempted suicide to pressure him into it,” Mahato said.

The couple has two daughters and one son, and Raut has requested custody of the children. 

Raut's wife Rani is from Simriya Ghat in Bihar, India.
