Nepal authorities began mass burials of hundreds of unidentified victims in temporary graves in the Chitwan district days after catastrophic flash floods. [^1]

The floods and mudslides have killed at least 800 people and left more than 3,000 missing across Nepal and Bhutan. [^2]

Four friends, Sunil BK, Sudip Mangrati, Indra Bahadur Pul, and Shivhari, traveled on motorbikes to the Chitwan district in Nepal to search for their missing friend, Rajesh Khatri. [^3]

Around 250 bodies, many swept hundreds of kilometres downstream by the Bhotekoshi River, remained unidentified. [^4]

Over 100 bodies were buried in a single day as mortuaries were overwhelmed and rapid decomposition posed public health risks. [^5]

Rajesh Khatri, a 42-year-old father of two and tourist car driver, was last seen on Betrawati Bridge when floodwaters were approaching. [^6]

Sunil BK stated that the group is 90 percent sure a figure seen in a social media video of the surging bridge is Rajesh Khatri. [^7]

The Nepali Army and volunteers have recovered at least 321 bodies out of 1,050 total recovered in the Chitwan district following the floods. [^8]
