Kathmandu, Sept 9

Ravi Laxmi Chitrakar, the wife of CPN (Unified Socialist) senior leader Jhala Nath Khanal, has been severely injured after Gen-Z protestors set their house on fire.

Protestors set fire to the Khanal residence in Dallu Tuesday morning. According to Naresh Shahi, a CPN (Unified Socialist) leader, she was seriously injured because protestors lit the fire while she was still inside the house.

According to him, she was at home with her son Nirbhik Khanal when the protestors started the fire. After being caught in the flames, she was taken to the Nepali Army hospital in Chhauni. Shahi stated that she was being treated in the ICU there, but preparations were underway to transfer her to the Kirtipur Hospital for burns.

Jhalanath Khanal, who is also a former prime minister, was rescued by the Nepali Army before the house was set on fire.
