I don't think Dil Shova will sue to the journalist or the media that published the news.   What I sensed aftermath appearance of her in the news is that she is only challenging the authority that if it can prove the accusation of "yon durachar"! Moreover, she is not of the nature who troubles others with lawsuits, etc.

Even if she files a lawsuit, the monetary compensation per the law of land may be very very nominal, as spelled in the 2021 Muluki Aiin i.e., something like Rs 1,500 or six months of jail, etc..... Not sure if things have changed much since then. But, as for example, last time SSP Kharel booked few dons and they were released at a bail bond of nominal amount couple of thousands rupeeya... The monetary compensation may not be worth of the cost of legal battle for her.... If it were in the West, the defendants would have to loose fortunes! The justice system in the country is still budding and yet to mature....
