Speaking during a conversation with journalist Divakar Shah, Nepali’s brother said the government had made necessary efforts from its side after the incident.

Family Says Treatment Efforts Were Made

When asked whether he felt the government had failed in providing treatment, Nepali’s brother said he did not feel that way.

However, he said Ganesh could not be saved despite the efforts.

Concern Over Political Use Of Incident

During the interview, journalist Divakar Shah said it appeared that the government had taken necessary steps for treatment and expressed sadness over what he described as attempts by some journalists and activists to politicize the incident.

Shah said he felt hurt seeing some people use the tragedy for politics and online views.

Brother Says Some Tried To Influence Him

According to Shah, some journalists had allegedly suggested Ganesh Nepali’s brother to speak against the government.

Responding to that, Nepali’s brother also said some people had tried to provoke him and encourage him to make statements against the government.

He said some journalists tried to influence him, but added that he had not given interviews to anyone earlier.
