Pukar Chhetri was found dead in his working place tuesday night around 1:00 AM. His body is taken to forensic science department for investigation by Houston Police Department. He was a Undergraduate Student in San Jacinto College. All of his family members are in Nepal waiting for his body. We need all of your support to send his body back home. 


Words alone cannot express our sympathy on the untimely death of our beloved friend Pukar Chhetri. To say that his time with us was far too short is an understatement. The reality is that he will be sorely missed by all who loved and knew him. May god give the strength and power to his family to bear the sorrow.

This site is also connecting donations for this cause. I am contacting folks there for verification.

 

http://www.thewhitezone.org/contents/contact_us.php

I have just sent an email out to them as well:

----------------------------

Hello:

We notice that your site is collecting donation regarding Pukar. We have had speculations floating around in sajha.com that this is a scam.

 

Can you please provide evidence related to this incident?

Thanks MillionDollars.


The WhiteZone people may not have any evidence. They probably just added the donation link on their website because they just wanted to help.


A lot of these online websites publishing the news are not professionals.

Guys,


I called my friend who is a houston police officer and asked about Pukar. He came to see me and summoned me to his cruiser and opened the homicide file and showed it to me. I was completely shocked. This is what happened early Wednesday morning around 12:30 am at 9200 N loop east (Texaco gas station).


Pukar was working night shift at the Texaco. There were two customers inside who were playing the video/game machine. Pukar was friendly and was talking to his customers. Then Pukar went to the restroom and after a while the customers heard a 'bang'. They first didn't pay attention to it, thought it came from outside. Pukar didn't return so one of the customers doubted and went to check to see what's going on? The bathroom door was locked. He then called 911 and police came, opened the bathroom door. There he was lying on the floor. He was pronounced dead on the spot. Police does not know the reason behind neither do we. 


Rest in peace Pukar. You will definitely be missed.

If someone asks you for donation saying he has terminal disease, would you ask to see official documentation before you give some donation? would you call him fake if he couldn't produce any documents?

If you don't want to give any donation just ignore him and go your way instead of passing all sorts of judgment calls on the poor guy.

grgDai,


Guess what? The people who started all this asking for donation have not come back here with updates. They have dissappeared. Has the body been sent back to Nepal?


It's our right to be skeptic if something looks suspicious.


What do YOU know that we don't. Please share.

If its fake, dude that would be awful.

His paypal account is connected to his Bank Account. He would be behind bars in no time.

Recently in Toronto, a girl faked she had cancer and collected about 20,000 dollars donation. She has her head shaved, lost weight, plucked eyebrows etc. etc. She even enlisted some charity organizations. She is facing a fraud case in a court and is disowned by her family.


I bring this up in this context not to blame anyone in Pukar case, but considering what goes around, people have every right to be skeptic. What is wrong with making sure the cause is for real? Why can someone not post the current state of where the body is and who is in charge of that. Post a few contacts, phone numbers and matter will resolve.

Instead of raising a hue and cry over what could happen and what could be, did someone call the phone number listed in the donation website?

This is what I've got in my email from the President, Nepalsese Association of Houston.

Dear friends,
 
F.Y.I.
 
The Houston Nepali Community is shocked and saddened by the news of the untimely demise of Mr. Pukar Chhetri, 22, a student of San Jacinto College South on August 10, 2010.  On behalf of Nepalese Association of Houston (NAH), I extend deepest condolences and sympathies to the family and friends of late Pukar Chhetri at their irreparable loss.  May his soul rest in eternal peace in the heavenly abode!
 
I am keeping in touch with Mr. Kiran Kasti, a long time friend and current roommate of latePukar Chhetri.  According to Kiran ji, Pukar's family's wish is for his body to sent back to Nepal for funeral services and final rites.  Therefore, Kiran Kasti ji and friends in San Jacinto College have set up a Web site with the link http://helppukarsfamily.weebly.com/.  I urge you to kindly visit this Web site and make a generous donation to make Pukar's body flown back to Nepal possible and his parent's wishes fulfilled.  Your help at this difficult time will count a lot and make a huge difference.
 

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Kiran Kasti and friends for taking the initiative of contacting late Pukar's family and making the necessary arrangements to send his body back to Nepal.  My grateful appreciations also go to Gyanshor Shrestha ji (NAH V. P.) for finding out the procedure and the Nepali Ambassador to the U.S. His Excellency Dr. Shankar P. Sharma and his staff Mr. Ananda Sharma for expediting the process of issuing the "No Objection Letter" to meet the legal requirement in this process.

Best regards,

Rajendra Shrestha

President, Nepalsese Association of Houston

I feel sorry for Pukar. But the way this news is being circulated just in Sajha, I have some doubts.
If it is some kind of prank, someone gonna get hurt real bad...
If it is real, fund raisers should provide more info. I can see just $1400 have been raised so far (per website). It can go way more if some more info provided.

Also, may be someone can send email to local news websites like click2houston.com and ask (or ask to investigate) about it. I have heard so many investigations from Local2 news channel (Emmy is her name I believe).

It feels bad when people start questioning about suicide, but we have seen so much from Nepalese community that anything is possible. 

Once again, feel sorry for victims family if the news is true.

rerefran, I want to help and donate too, since you seem to know Pukar can you enlighten us why this news has not been published in any American houston news establishment, since this incident happened at a public area,and police was involved, there is bound to be some investigation. police do not term suicide at the scene, they will keep the case open for foul play. They file a report, case report hospital report and local newspaper or even television report. In many other donation help request here in Sajha, they always had those information. I think Many people like me want to donate and help. but a lot of the news looks like hear say. I really feel bad, but as his friend you should explain everyone whats going on and update us. People here at sajha are very generous but please undersatnd that people will ask questions, you clear that for us and see how the donation will grow.

Why would a Police officer show his homicide file to you??? That's a breach of a Privacy and any Police officer cannot do that at any condition. You are not even his family member.

Yes, a screenshot of the email from President of Houston Nepali Community could have put this case to rest. I don't understand why he just chose to copy/paste only message.

@dimag_kharab

Releasing names and personal informations of victims in an incident is breach of privacy. Reporting an incident is not. I have details about the victim, the only thing I need to know is what happened that night. Moreover, I have known him for more than four years.
Why would I lie anyway upon such disaster? Always think you could be wrong too, you may not know all info, and start trusting people.

Rukdhell, i am not trying to judge you or his suicide here. But i just do not buy the way the incident happened.

How come an student on a Visa own a gun to kill himself? Also, how can you justify the facebook profile. Why was it turned private?

You are asking us for donations. If i am trying to donate i have every rights to know how suicide took place and the incident has to be convincing in order for me to donate.  If you had been his friend for 4 years, why do not you tell us if he was depressed or had some other issues that led him to suicide? 

Its Pukar's friends like you who are making this sound like a play. You do not know how you are getting involved in this, do you?
