The body of a man from Sunsari district has remained unclaimed at a Kathmandu hospital for four days due to a disagreement between his family and the Nepali government. The man was a victim of violence in Kaptanganj, and his family is seeking assurances regarding compensation and official “martyr” status. Government officials have stated these commitments are contingent on the findings of an ongoing inquiry report. However, the family insists on receiving the same guarantees extended to other victims of the Kaptanganj unrest. Negotiations have reached a standstill as a result of this impasse, leaving the deceased’s remains in limbo. The family is frustrated by the delay and demands equitable treatment, mirroring provisions made for fellow victims. The situation highlights potential issues in the government's handling of post-violence victim support.
