According to Gautam, Sumitra Timsina (Adhikari) resettled with him has gone unconscious when she heard of her brother’s death.
The International Organization for Migration (IOM) took Adhikari family from Beldangi-II sector B/3-145/146 for resettlement in March this year. A high-placed source at IOM was unable to confirm the news citing the possibility only by tomorrow.

According to family sources, Hari Lal reached Florida with his four other family members including his father Tika Ram Adhikari and mother Indra Maya.
A UN team from Damak-based UHNCR, United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, reached the Beldangi-II for the ground study. However, no details could be gathered due to off office hour in Nepal.
The Adhikari family said that World Relieve- resettlement agency – has been assisting for resettlement in Florida.

I am very much shocked by the incident that took place in Florida(USA).What clould be the reason to kill such a innocent boy?whoever has done it, should be punished at any cost.

Anyway,I pray to Almighty God to help his soul to remain in peace and U.S government to find the cruel guy and proceed the necessary action please.
