Injured Gen Z protester Dipendra receives Bhai Tika at hospital, sister blesses him to “stay strong”

Perhaps they didn’t notice it. But as severely injured Dipendra Basnet of the “Gen Z Movement” received Bhai Tika on the rooftop of Annapurna Neuro Hospital in Maitighar, the tune seemed to play just for him.
