I can't come to pick up the car.'

His father, Kanthamani Jaiswal, had won the mayor of Garuda Municipality from UML in the 2079 local level election.

The parked car has been obstructed from parking inside the office for about 5 hours. ‘TV journalists could not go to report.’ According to Kantipur Television’s news coordinator Ramkrishna Bhandari, journalists who were supposed to go to collect news with cameras in the morning were stuck in the office after their vehicles could not leave. ‘It was difficult for my friends to even leave with their motorcycles,’ Bhandari said. The employees working in the office were terrified until the vehicles were removed. The employees were panicked as they did not know who the parked vehicle belonged to and why it was kept there.

At around 12:30, Kantipur Publication called a crane and removed the vehicle. Umesh Chauhan, group editor of Himalaya TV and OnlineKhabar.com, said that a serious investigation should be conducted into who kept the vehicle in the media house. ‘But it is clear why it was done, if you keep raising questions, it is clear that this was done to warn that “anything can happen,” he told Kantipur. ‘We say that we have a state. But it is strange that the police have been delaying for seven hours even when there is a traffic jam on the road outside. He said that Ganesh Nepali's self-immolation is not limited to traffic rules, saying, "Citizens should follow the rules and regulations, but the state should also give trust to vulnerable citizens. Why could the state not give trust to young people like Prem Acharya yesterday and Ganesh Nepali today? Where did it go wrong? The media has raised questions. The state should be responsive to the questions raised by the media and citizens, not reactive."

SSP Suresh Kafle, head of the Valley Traffic Police Office, said that some people have come in contact with the police and that their vehicles have been taken away by their drivers. He said that he would identify the people who came in contact and said, "We will take action according to the rules."

AIG Sushil Singh Rathore, Chief of the Valley Police Office, Ranipokhari, told Kantipur that instructions have been given to pick up suspicious vehicles parked at the gate of media houses and bring them to the Valley Traffic Police Office, Ranipokhari. ‘Currently, the process of bringing vehicles from all offices is underway.’ Rathore said, ‘We are discussing what other action will be taken.’

The Federation of Nepali Journalists has stated that vehicles parked suspiciously at the gate of the media house have created obstacles and terror for journalists working there to carry out their media work. ‘Since 8 am this morning, journalists’ vehicles have been parked at the gates of the offices of Kantipur Publication in Tinkune, Online News in Naya Baneshwor, and Himalaya Television in Madhya Baneshwor, creating problems for journalists’ movement,’ said a statement issued by General Secretary Ram Prasad Dahal. ‘The federation strongly demands that the relevant bodies immediately remove the obstruction of vehicles and protect the media workers and media houses.’
