Armed Police Force (APF) Inspector Brijesh Rimal identified the fatality as 45-year-old Gopi Karki from Beldangi-II Extension, Sector A1-65X. The dead body was taken to Bhadrapur for postmortem.
According to the Media Network Bhutan, one of the deceased’s daughter was reportedly departing for resettlement in the US today. However, it was not immediately known if she boarded the IOM (International Organization for Migration) bus.
