Foreign Minister Discusses Stranded Body Issue

Kathmandu. Foreign Minister Shishir Khanal said that there is a problem in bringing the body of Santosh Rai, who died in Cambodia, to Nepal. Rai, 42, a resident of Dhunibeshi Municipality-9, Dhading, had gone to Cambodia illegally via India last August. However, he died on April 29 at Kalmet Hospital during treatment due to 'hemorrhagic stroke' cerebral hemorrhage.

The wife of the deceased, Junu Rai, had appealed for help, stating that the body could not be brought to Nepal due to poor economic condition and legal complications.
