Allegations of rape of a minor
Shah was taken into custody by Tanahun police on 27 February 2022 after a 17-year old singer filed a police complaint accusing him of rape.[13] The Nawalpur District Attorney’s Office filed a statutory rape case against Shah and asked for a 14-year jail sentence.[14] However, the minor changed her statement on April 17 when, in a statement to the court, she said that she had not been raped and had made false claims after being provoked to do so.[15]
On 6 September 2022, the Nawalpur district court acquitted[16] him of rape but found him guilty of the "sexual abuse of a minor" and sentenced him to 2.5 years in prison.[17] Shah challenged the verdict in an appeals court and on February 26, 2023, was acquitted of all charges by the Pokhara High Court citing a lack of evidence because the minor changed her statement on April 17, saying she was not raped, she was provoked into lodging a false complaint by others.[18] Shah was subsequently released.
