A Nepal citizen was among the 26 people who were killed by terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam on Tuesday, April 22. Sudip Neupane, 27, was on a holiday with his family in Pahalgam’s Baisaran Valley when terrorists shot at them, leaving him dead and his mother injured.

Sudip, a resident of Rupandehi in Butwal region of Nepal, was on a vacation with his mother, sister, and brother-in-law. A public health student and an aspiring social worker, Sudip lived in Butwal with his mother, Rima, and sister.

In Rupandehi, Sudip’s grandfather, Khemananda Neaupane, told ANI that terrorists asked Sudip about his religion, and killed him after he told them he was Hindu.

Sudip Neupane’s grandmother, Sewakali Neupane, said," Earlier this morning, my son and daughter-in-law came to know about my grandson being killed, and then they informed us. I am in complete shock. They occasionally used to come here as they now reside in Kalika Nagar. He had visited me about four months back in January (Magh). While going back, he said, ‘grandmother, if you fall ill, then inform me, I’ll come to see you’."

Expressing condolences to Sudip’s family, Nepal Foreign Affairs Minister Dr Arzu Rana Deuba said, “I am deeply saddened by the news of the death of Nepali citizen Sudip Neupane of Butwal-11, Kalikanagar, Rupandehi, in the terrorist attack that took place in Pahalgam, Kashmir yesterday. I pay my heartfelt tributes to him and express my deepest condolences to his family."

“I also wish a speedy recovery to his mother, who was injured in the terrorist attack. We have also received news that they have arrived for a visit," she added.

Deuba also condemned the Pahalgam terror attack, saying, “Condemning such a cruel and inhuman act is not enough. The Government of Nepal condemns this incident and stands with the Government of India and the people of India in this hour of grief. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is in touch for further information about the incident."

Nepal Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli also paid his condolences to Sudip’s family. “Deepest condolences to the victims of the terrorist attack in Pahalgam. Nepal stands firmly with India & strongly condemn any & all acts of terrorism. Close coordination is established to verify reports of a Nepali national among the victims & will provide all necessary assistance," he posted on X.
