18-year-old Nirmal Saru Magar, born in Falamkhili village in Bhumikasthan Municipality-4, came to Kathmandu to study graduation after passing 12th standard. Along with his studies, he bought a bicycle and worked as a delivery boy to earn room and food expenses.

He was camping in Kirtipur and walked to Baneshwar with his friends on Monday morning during the Zen-G performance. Father Chandra Bahadur Saru is in Qatar for employment. Father Chandra Bahadur and mother Madhu's dreams have become unfulfilled after Nirmal's death due to gunshots in Baneshwar.

After passing SEE from Shanti Mavi Dharapani through local Bhagwati Basic School, he studied Management at Kanti Mavi, Butwal. He came to Kathmandu from home only two months ago and passed this year with good marks in class 12.

He used to say that he would call his father back from foreign employment by earning while studying. All dreams were shattered,” said his neighbor Dai Vishnu Pun. Father Chandra Bahadur has arrived in Kathmandu with the news of his son's death in the movement.

He has been employed in Qatar for decades to educate his two sons and one daughter. It had been eight months since he last came home and went to Qatar. "My son used to tell me that you should not go abroad after I started working," said Chandra Bahadur, "I went to Qatar to educate my children." If the eldest son studied and started working, he would have shown the way to his siblings, I was hoping that it would be easy for me too, all my dreams were shattered.'

Chandra Bahadur's youngest son is 12 years old and his daughter is 9 years old. A few days ago, Nirmal told his mother on the phone that he would bring clothes for everyone when he comes on Dasain after getting his salary. "I taught my son in class 11 and 12 in Butwal, and when he told me to go and study Kathmandu diploma, I said yes," said Chandra Bahadur. What should I do? My son was lost by government bullets.' - details updated and edited.
