Kirtipur Hospital earlier said in a statement that since treatment in Nepal was not possible, the pair needed to be sent to a hospital outside the country that specializes in treating burns.

According to Bhandari’s personal secretary, Bhuwan Bhusal, the LPG cylinder exploded while the family was sleeping.

In 2020, eight tourists from Kerala suffocated to death in Nepal after a possible gas leak from the heater in their room at a mountain resort in the Makwanpur district. The tourists were airlifted to HAMS hospital here, where they were pronounced dead on arrival. (Arnie)
