He was hit by the micro-bus just at the gate of his college. A permanent resident of Okhaldhunga, Sherpa later succumbed to his injuries at the Model Hospital in Bagbazaar, according to police. The incident also led to a clash between the agitated students and police. Several students have been reported injured in the process.
