Instead, they pressured the family to dispose of the body in a river, creating social tension and unrest.
Despite the efforts of some supportive community leaders to carry out the burial with dignity, intense opposition forced the family to bring the body back home.
This incident reveals the deep-rooted discrimination faced by the Christian community in Nepal and raises serious concerns about the state of religious freedom in the country.
