It is just a rumour, says Nepal embassy Published: Monday, 25 June, 2007, 02:09 AM Doha Time Staff Reporter THE Nepal embassy yesterday reiterated that the mission firmly believed that the “reports” about a Nepalese worker being “killed” and “eaten” by his colleagues from a South East Asian country were only “rumours”. Speaking to Gulf Times yesterday, the charge d’affaires at the Nepalese mission, Ram Kaji Khadka, said that on the basis of some reports published in Qatar, the embassy had contacted the local authorities but “they could not enlighten us on the issue”. Khadka said they had also made enquiries in some camps of the company where the ‘incident’ was purported to have taken place but nothing suspicious could be found. “Just like any other embassy, we are also very much bothered about the safety and security of our nationals and that was why we used all our channels to ascertain if any Nepalese national was killed in such a way as described by some newspapers (not Gulf Times),” he said. The official said the mission had contacted some senior police officials investigating the ‘incident’ yesterday, but they clarified that what was being heard had nothing to do with truth and what appeared in newspapers seemed to be “rumours” only. Asked if that meant somebody else had been a victim of cannibalism, Khadka said: “The only thing that I believe is that no Nepalese has been killed or eaten like what has been reported in newspapers.” http://www.gulf-times.com/site/topics/article.asp?cu_no=2&item_no=157219&version=1&template_id=57&parent_id=56
