Family of Samar Bahadur Sunar who died in Dubai has been discriminated in performing funeral rituals. The locals have denied the family access to community building for funeral rituals because the family is of a 'lower caste'.

The brother of the deceased asked for the keys to the community building on April 8, but the locals did not give him the keys. The family is performing the funeral rituals at their own house after they did not get access to the community house.
