A local college math teacher is in a coma after nearly being beaten to death.
A driver, Meredith Richi, found 42-year-old Narayan Dhakal lying faced down, left for dead in the middle of East Eighth Street in uptown Charlotte around 1:30 a.m. Friday.
Richi said she doesn't want to be considered a Good Samaritan.
In fact, she said at first she thought the man lying in the street was
a trap because another man had just tried to flag her down.
Officers said when they arrived, they discovered Dhakal's wallet
and cell phone were missing so it took them several days to determine
his identity.
Dhakal's brother, Abi, said his brother has been teaching at the
University of North Carolina at Charlotte for two years and is
currently pursuing a second master's degree. He said Narayan Dhakal was
in the middle of a busy, stressful semester and was trying to blow off
steam by going to Bar Charlotte in uptown Thursday night.
"Suddenly, the thing comes in my mind, the picture that he's
laying there. Oh my God," Abi Dhakal said. "And to see a guy that
regularly goes to the gym, runs, teaching, going to school � full of
energy � all of the sudden zombied up, it's like, gosh, I can't believe
this."
Narayn Dhakal Originally from Jhapa, Nepal has been in USA for
last 16 years and got his BS degree from Troy State University and
Masters Degree from Auburn University in Alabama Majoring in
Mathematics. After getting his masters he moved to Greenbelt, Maryland
and taught Mathematics at Montgomery College, Marymount University and
American University in DC. |
