On Tuesday, Nara Bahadur Chhetri Bhandari, 85, of Ramdhuni-1 was found dead in his room. He was bleeding from head. SP Rajan Adhikari, chief of the District Police Office (DPO), Sunsari informed Republica that they suspect foul play in the suspicious death of Bhandari.

"We suspect it must be a case of robbery as some of the things are missing in his residence," said SP Adhikari. A team of police under the leadership of DSP Gyanendra Phuyal has been deployed to investigate into the case. The deceased owned a two-storey house. He used to live in the upper floor of the same house while the ground floor was rented.

"We received a call from the tenants in the morning. When we reached here we found our father dead," said Durga Bahadur Bhandari, the younger son of the deceased. Nara Bahadur has two sons from two wives. The elder son lives in Ramdhuni-4 while the younger one lives in Itahari-5. His first wife died a few years ago and his second wife is living with her son Durga. His body has been sent to BP Koirala Institute of Health and Sciences (BPKIHS), Dharan for postmortem.
