It has been 4 years since Jaisingh Dhami, a Nepali youth from Darchula, who was traveling to Kathmandu from the tuin hanging on the Mahakali river, went missing after Indian security personnel cut off the tuin's stick. But India has not yet responded to the 'diplomatic note' sent by Nepal regarding the incident. Action has been taken against the security personnel of the Indian Armed Forces (SSB) who removed the stick of Na Tuin.

On 15 July 2078, 33-year-old Dhami fell into Mahakali river while crossing the Mahakali river while crossing the Mahakali river in Malghat (Khangdang) on ​​15th July 2078. His condition is still unknown. The government of Nepal treated Dhami as 'dead' and gave the family a relief of 10 lakh rupees and also guaranteed employment to his wife Rajanti Dhami .

On July 15, Vyas walked from Rural Municipality-2 Malghat to Dhami Tuin to India via Gasku to Darchula headquarters Khalanga. However, after falling from Tuin, relatives and locals filed a complaint at the Indian police station near Gaskun. On the same day Dhami fell in Mahakali, District Administration Office Darchula sent a letter to the Indian District Officer at Pithoragarh to help in the investigation regarding the search for the missing and the involvement of SSB in the incident. The next day on July 16, District Magistrate Anand Swarup sent a letter to the Darchula administration denying the involvement of SSB. After that there was a movement and demonstration up to Kathmandu about the behavior of Indians. After that, the Indian side assured that those involved would be brought to justice if found guilty. On the other hand, Indian security personnel requested the Nepal Police to carry out a search operation with a drone in the south coastal area of ​​Mahakali from the area where Dhami Tuin fell, but they blocked the drone from flying on the land towards India.

After Dhami's disappearance, on July 17, the Ministry of Home Affairs formed a committee under the leadership of Joint Secretary Janardan Gautam to investigate the incident. The committee came to the conclusion that 'SSB jawans from Indian land across the Mahakali had loosened the stick of Tuin and fell into the Dhami Mahakali and disappeared'. The investigation committee led by Joint Secretary Gautam had made clear the involvement of SSB and recommended that India also investigate and take action and compensation. On August 15, the committee submitted its report to the then Home Minister Balkrishna Khan and recommended the government for diplomatic correspondence. Based on the report of the same committee, the government sent a diplomatic note to India on 21 August.

4 years since Jaisingh Dhami fell in Mahakali: Punishment of the guilty and no response to the 'diplomatic note'

The diplomatic note sent through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said - 'The Government of Nepal, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs informs the Indian Embassy in Kathmandu that a Nepali citizen Jaisingh Dhami, a resident of Byas Rural Municipality-2 in Darchula, fell on July 30, 2021 while crossing the Mahakali river from Malghat in Nepal to India through Tuin. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs informs about the presence and involvement (Presence and Involvement).' Similarly, in the note, it was requested to conduct a detailed investigation on the involvement of SSB and to take necessary legal action against those involved in the incident and to provide compensation to the victim's family .

There were protests across the country objecting to the inhuman behavior of the Indian security personnel in the Tuin case, after the pressure of the protests, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent a 'diplomatic note' to India on 21 August 2078 and objected. In addition, the government also requested to bring the culprits to justice. On the fourth day after the government sent the diplomatic note, on August 25, the National Human Rights Commission of Nepal also sent a letter to the Human Rights Commission of India requesting that the culprits involved in the Tuin case be prosecuted and the family of the missing Dhami be given appropriate 'relief/compensation'.

In response to the letter from the Human Rights Commission of Nepal, the Indian Commission informed that the investigation process of the incident has proceeded . However, Tikaram Pokharel, Secretary of the Commission informed that no information has come from India. According to sources in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, there was no reply to the diplomatic notes sent about Dhami.

'After the government of Nepal sent a diplomatic note to India on the incident of Jaisingh Dhami Tuin, the Human Rights Commission of Nepal sent a letter requesting the Indian Human Rights Commission to investigate and prosecute those involved in such an inhumane incident and to initiate appropriate relief for the families of the missing persons,' Pokharel, the secretary of the commission, said, 'We were informed of the process until the letter was answered and the investigation proceeded as a complaint. It didn't come.' The local administration 'District Magistrate' (DM) in Pithoragarh, India also promised to investigate the incident and take action against the culprits after all-round protests. However, after the incident progressed, the Indian side withdrew from its commitment to punish the guilty. After the

incident, the government provided a relief of 10 lakh rupees by taking a decision from the Council of Ministers. After that, Dhami's wife Rajanti was given a permanent job in the Nepal Police after a few months of being contracted to the ward office located in Byas Rural Municipality-2. Rajanti is currently working at the District Police Office at Khalanga, Darchula headquarters. Those who disappeared Dhami have not yet been brought to justice.
