KIA in Ukraine

The last rites of Vinod Bahadur Sunuwar, who died fighting in the Russia-Ukraine war, took place on 27 January at Pashupati. Sunuwar had left for Russia in 2023, and was missing before his family learned of his death. With his body yet to be brought back to Nepal, a body made of kush (a sacred grass variety) was cremated. Sunuwar leaves behind 24-year old wife Srijana, a young son, and other relatives.
