National News: “Nepal was shaken by violent anti-government protests that turned into days of chaos, putting Indian citizens in deadly danger. Rioters attacked government offices, hotels, private properties, and even Parliament House. In this unrest, many Indian tourists visiting Nepal found themselves trapped in Kathmandu’s fire. Thanks to the swift response of the Indian government, most citizens were rescued and brought back home safely. But the horrifying experiences they carried back are unforgettable. The returning Indians have shared stories so terrifying that they continue to haunt them like a lifelong nightmare.”

Khyaati shared her ordeal 

Khyati, a resident of Dwarka, Delhi, had gone to Nepal for some personal work. During the trip, she was staying in a hotel in Kathmandu when the violence and arson were at their peak. She said that my hotel was only half an hour away from the airport but it did not seem safe to go out at all. The protesters had now started setting hotels on fire.

Khyati also recorded a video of the violence outside her hotel room. When the situation went out of control, she requested the hotel manager to take her to the airport but she was told that going out could be even more fatal. After waiting for hours, she somehow reached the airport and returned to India.

Condition of Indians stranded in Nepal

Rajesh Devi Singh Gola, a resident of Ghaziabad, had come to Kathmandu with his wife to spend the holidays. When his hotel became the target of the mob, to save his life, he tied the curtains and sheets on the window to make a rope and tried to climb down. His son Vishal Gola said that my parents had booked a room in Hyatt Regency. When they returned after the protest on 9 September, the protesters entered the hotel and started setting it on fire. His father made a rope by joining the curtains and bedsheets and brought my mother down first. When my mother reached the second floor, she lost control and fell down. Blood was flowing from her head. Then an army jeep came and took my mother away, but left my injured father there.

Later when his father somehow reached the hospital, he was told that his wife had died. He said that this incident is a deep shock for our entire family. We have not yet recovered from it. However, the Kathmandu administration has not yet confirmed the death of Rajesh Devi Singh Gola, but if it is confirmed, this will be the first death of an Indian in Nepal violence.
