Morang Letang Municipality Ward No. Gangamaya Vishwakarma, 76 years old, a leader of the Dalit community and a member of the judicial committee of the ward, who lives in the village of 2, has been fatally attacked by a person.

Gangamaya, who was severely injured after being repeatedly hit on the head with an iron rod, is undergoing treatment at a neuro hospital in Biratnagar.

This incident, which is said to have started as a dispute over a simple matter, turned into a serious criminal attack. Agni Nepal of the same village had started a dispute over Gangamaya by behaving insultingly with caste prejudice. 

Nepal, who was plowing the land with a tractor in the village, offered Gangamaya to plow the land too. However, when he said that he did not plow his own land, he said bitter words like ``When you go to ask for money, you file a case of rape and send you to jail, now if you plow a plough, you only plow it with money on the tip of the plough''  . 

'Others are fine, but when they said that they will send a case of rape to jail, I did not understand', Gangamaya, who is being treated, said, 'I informed about this allegation from the ward president to the deputy head.' 

But the incident turned into a suicide attempt within a few days. Last June 14, around 10 o'clock in the morning, Agni Nepal went to Gangamaya's house with an iron rod in his hand. Gangamaya did not see the hand rod . He reached the house saying, 'Didi, can I come?', while Gangamaya was acting normal and was removing fleas, he repeatedly hit her on the head and hands with an iron rod. She and her 80-year-old husband were the only ones at home. The assailant ran away after a bystander realized that he had shouted 'killed, killed'. 

She fell bloody in Sikuwa and was rescued by the locals and sent to the hospital. 

The attacker was arrested by police station Letang . He is still in custody. After the incident, the health condition of Gangamaya, who is being treated at Arya Neuro Hospital in Biratnagar, is becoming normal. After 10 days of intensive treatment, he has now been shifted to the ward . 

But the victim side complains that the victim side is hesitating to bear the hospital expenses. 

According to the victim's son Fadindra Vick, the accused's brother Khagendra Nepal had promised to bear all the medical expenses. However, so far only two and a half lakhs have been given. "The cost of treatment has exceeded 10 lakhs", he said, "There is a hostage situation in the hospital."
