When family members staged a protest that turned violent, police had to fire twice in the air to take the situation under control. According to other students who had been staying in the hostel, Krishna Ram had been ill for a few days. On Monday when his condition worsened, he was taken to Banepa Hospital by friends. This was around 5 pm. According to Inspector Anil Ghimire of Area Police Office, Banepa, he was later admitted to Sheer Memorial Hospital, but he succumbed to his illness.
