Home Minister condoles death of Acharya after self-immolation attempt

Home Minister Rabi Lamichhane has expressed grief over the demise of Prem Prasad Acharya who lost his life following the self-immolation attempt.

The Home Minister has extended heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family, wishing for eternal peace to the departed soul.

The Home Minister said through social site the decision to kill self might be the outcome of accumulated frustrations and pain, adding that he was sad to realise that the newly emerged Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP), of which he is the Chair, could not instill a ray of hope among the people like him.

The 36-year-old Acharya from Ilam who attempted to self-immolate in New Baneshwor on Tuesday succumbed to burn injuries this morning in course of treatment in Kirtipur Burn Hospital.
