Mourners in Nepal gathered to bid farewell to Bipin Joshi, a young agricultural student who was kidnapped from Israel in 2023 and killed while held captive in Gaza. Joshi's remains were returned to his hometown of Kanchanpur after two years of uncertainty, following a ceasefire deal that saw his body handed over by Hamas. His family and community honored him with a traditional Hindu cremation ceremony, remembering his bravery during the attack in which he saved others before being taken hostage. The Nepalese prime minister and Joshi's family paid tribute to his courage, expressing grief and pride as they reflected on his sacrifice and the lasting impact he leaves on both Nepal and Israel.
