Nepal protests: Body of Indian woman killed in hotel attack brought back
ACouple on, in their tardily 50s, from Uttar Pradesh’s Ghaziabad, were in capital of nepal for a pilgrim's journey to the Pashupatinath Temple when wild anti-corruption protests rocked Nepal and forced Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli to resign. The couple was concerned but thought their stay at a five-star hotel would keep them out of harm’s way. But that was not to be.On the midnight of September 9, the hotel was set afire. The woman fell as her grip loosened while she was being evacuated using curtains. She fell on mattresses laid by rescuers on the ground floor and suffered injuries.The couple soon got separated as the army arrived. “She probably suffered a shock. Thereafter, she succumbed to injuries,” the couple’s son, Vishal Gola, told journalists as the woman’s body arrived at their Ghaziabad home on Friday.The family refused to speak, saying they were mourning and busy with the last rites when HT reached out to them.Police in Ghaziabad identified the woman as Rajesh Gola, 57, who was in Nepal with her husband, Ramvir Singh Gola. The couple left Ghaziabad on September 7 and checked into the Hyatt Regency. “We did not get help there. Through our contacts in a ministry, we were able to get it and finally brought the body to Ghaziabad. We came to know on the midnight of September 9 that the hotel was set afire,” said Vishal Gola.The woman’s husband is purportedly heard saying in a video on social media that no one helped them in Nepal. “From Hyatt Regency in Kathmandu, we were planning to go to Mithila, but before that, a curfew was announced, and the airport was shut down. I extended the hotel stay for one day.”He is heard saying that rioters came around 6pm and set fire to the hotel. “We had to jump from the hotel to save ourselves. She [his wife] suffered injuries in the process and died during treatment. No one came for help, and I would tell my acquaintances that they should not be visiting Nepal,” Ramvir Singh Gola is heard saying in the video. HT could not independently verify the authenticity of the video.Umesh Kumar, in charge of Ghaziabad’s Nandgram police station, said the body was sent to Hindon cremation grounds after it arrived from Nepal. “We also sent police personnel to oversee law and order.”
