A Nepali injured in Mumbai attack: Report

Jagat Khadka, a Nepali working at Leopold café in Mumbai, has been injured during Wednesday's attack, a local newspaper report said.

According to `Nepalnews' daily—a Nepali-language newspaper published from Mumbai—Khadka was hit on his left hand and stomach when an Islamic extremist opened fire at the popular restaurant on Wednesday evening.

A resident of Ghoongarkot VDC in far-western district of Achham, Khadka was working as a security guard at the Café. He has now been discharged after treatment from a local hospital and is recuperating at his house, the newspaper said.

A number of Nepalese worked at Hotel Taj Mahal Palace and Hotel Trident Oberoi but there are no reports of Nepalese casualty other than Khadka, reports said. A Nepali chef, Purushottam Basyal, who worked at the Taj was able to survive after hiding at the basement of the hotel on Wednesday night. He was later rescued by security personnel.

The blatant attacks have left at least 125 people dead in Mumbai, the financial capital of India. nepalnews.com Nov 28 08
