Kathmandu, Oct. 10 -- The bustling nightlife of Thamel was shaken late last month when a young man fell victim to a brutal khukuri attack-an incident that police have now traced back to a fugitive who escaped from Nakkhu Jail during the September 9 Gen Z protests.

The victim, 25-year-old Suraj Tamang, originally from Makawanpur and living in Balaju Manmainju, was attacked outside the Happy Hotel on September 29. Rushed to Bir Hospital by police, Suraj lost his battle for life the same night.
