India, Sept. 12 -- A religious trip to Nepal turned into a tragedy for a Ghaziabad family after rioters torched a luxury hotel in Kathmandu, leaving a woman dead while dozens of Indian tourists are still stranded.

Ramveer Singh Gola (58) and his wife Rajesh Devi had travelled to Kathmandu on September 7 to visit the Pashupatinath temple. But on the night of September 9, their five-star hotel was set ablaze during violent protests.

The unrest follows 'Gen Z-led' protests on September 8 demanding transparency in governance and lifting of the social media ban. Demonstrators tried to storm parliament, and torched various government and private establishments as the agitation turned violent.
