Humkala Bhandari, the 66-year-old wife of 66-year-old Bheshraj Bhandari of Dhurkot rural municipality (5 Mantari) died after being hit by a current placed to protect the crops. Two sons and a daughter-in-law of the Bhandari couple were in Dubai for work and their daughter was married, so they were living alone in the house.
