Unfortunately, our fundraising has stalled at about $5,500, an amount inadequate to retain credible legal services. He has asked me to send a special appeal to his friends to help him in his hour of need. Before anyone gets the impression that this is an appeal for funds to be used for his prolonged legal expenses, let me clarify that the intention is to get a current one-time resolution in his case that positions him to continue the case on his own.  I will not go into the options or the possible legal ramifications here but suffice it to say that retaining qualified counsel is the best way to help him at this time. He realizes that and stresses it repeatedly in his calls to me. 

I think it is time for his friends and countrymen to step up.

As some people may think he is a doctor and might have lots of money. This is not true.Dr Acharya is from Padampur Chitwan and went through a big struggle in his career. He has always remain simple and his ultimate aim was to do something for the nation and Chitwan. He had just completed his 1st year of Internal medicine in St John hospital in Chicago. Recently had gone through an intense personal stress and was very depressed and was not in a state to act normal. That is the main reason for this incident and anybody can realize that no normal person does what he did.
