Relatives and friends brought his body to the street where the mosque stands and blocked the traffic causing terrible traffic jam in the heart of the Kathmandu Metropolitan city for more than five hours.
The relatives of the dead man have demanded the government to declare him the martyr and take care the welfare of his family members and children. Deputy Prime Minister holding the portfolio of Home Bijya Gacchedar visited the area and assured the relatives and friends that have blocked the streets of taking strong actions against the assailants and of taking the proposal for declaring him a martyr and for funding the welfare of his family members.
