Kathmandu, Oct. 20 -- Prime Minister Sushila Karki has paid her last tribute to Bipin Joshi, the Nepali student who was abducted and killed by Hamas militants, saying he will "always live in the hearts of every Nepali."

After offering her final respects to Joshi's mortal remains at Tribhuvan International Airport on Monday, Prime Minister Karki said that although Joshi is no longer in physical form, his courage and sacrifice will be remembered by the nation. "Bipin must have suffered greatly while in Hamas's custody. Even when there was a chance that he could have survived, he risked his life to save his friends. He is a brave Nepali youth - a true son of Nepal," she said.
