Chandni Bista of Vedkot Municipality-9 Sundarpur of Kanchanpur has been involved in the ongoing movement demanding the safe rescue and return of Nepalis including her husband Virajan who had joined the Russian army for about a month. She was protesting in Kathmandu to bring back Virajan, who has been serving in the Russian army for five months.
She came home for special work and was returning to Kathmandu on May 21 for the protest. At this time, the unconfirmed news of Virajan's death reached his family.
The family had not told Chandni the unconfirmed news of Virajan's death, who had been out of contact for two weeks. The next day, the same news came again. On the third day, another person reported again that it was believed. Sita, brother-in-law of Virajan told, "The Indian who was with him said that he saw Virajan's watch and recognized his face well through WhatsApp. After that we decided to perform the last rites.
The news of Virajan's death was told by Parshuram Choudhary of Bardia, Mahesh Chand of Surkhet and Ankit, who were in the Russian army with him, and the family reached the funeral rites. After making an effigy of Kush and last rites at Mahakali on Thursday, wife Chandni and son Biswasjung stayed in Kiriya.
43-year-old Virajan reached Russia on November 18 via Delhi. Along with him, his brother Nirajan and his neighbor Lokendra also joined the Russian army. According to the family, they all went ahead after paying 7 lakh each to the broker.
They joined the army on November 21 and had not been deployed in the war until mid-March. They were in contact until they went to the war, but after being deployed in the war, they became like no contact. "Initially, we got in touch after 14 days, then we returned to the war in two days," said Chandni, "We used to go to war and rest for a day or two."

Sita said that it was Virajan's brother Nirajan who sent the news of his brother's death to his friends at home. According to him, the last time Nirajan was also not in touch for about two weeks. "We didn't even know in which area the war was going on, where they were," she said It seems that it will come. According to what others have said, the funeral work is going on in the house right now. Even those who come to give condolences, she expresses her hope that they will put an eye on her son.
"Since leaving, we were in regular contact, after going to war, we used to talk rarely for a few days," said Janaki, "We were hoping that there would be contact, news of his death came." According to her, she has not been in contact with her younger son Nirajan either. Neighboring grandson Lokendra is also not in touch.
Mother Kamala's pain is increasing every day due to lack of contact with her 30-year-old son Lokendra.
Virajan, who was cremated by his family and was cremated in Mahakali, had worked in the Nepalese army for 10 years and went to different countries for employment. He had reached Singapore, UAE and other countries and worked somewhere as a security guard and somewhere else on a ship.
