Kathmandu, Dec. 5 -- When Sikandar Raut left his village to work in Dubai this summer, he told his family that he would be back in a few months. He had been working in the United Arab Emirates for over ten years and made several trips in between.

Sikandar had bought a piece of land in Dhanusha and spent some money on the marriages of four of his daughters. He also spent a substantial amount of money on his wife's treatment. All that meant, he still had loans to pay.

"He said he would cancel his job and return soon to start something on his own," Arvind Raut, his nephew, told the Post. "He was planning to clear the loans with the bonus he was expecting."

Sikandar did return-but in a coffin. He died in a road accident in October.

It too...
