An eight-member high level committee led by the prime minister had been formed to investigate into cases of violence against women on 30 December, 2012.
Talking to Republica, member of the committee and spokesperson for the National Women Commission Monha Ansari said that one of the important finding of the committee was the existence of trafficking syndicate at the immigration department of the Tribhuvan International Airport.
