As the discussion unfolded, Amat was subjected to physical assault, beatings, and verbal abuse by the woman and others present, according to Rajendra Bhandari, President of the Nepal Association of Foreign Employment Agencies (NAFEA).


Bhandari expressed concern, stating that the woman had been brought to Nepal by a manpower entrepreneur at his own expense. He emphasized that while the discussion was ongoing at the DoFE, businessman Amat was assaulted. 


NAFEA said it deems the incident serious and objectionable, pointing out the lack of action against those involved in such illegal activities within the DoFE. The NAFEA has called for strict measures against individuals engaging in unlawful acts.
