What the contemporaneous report said
Onlinekhabar's May 3, 2023 account reported the death of Shankar Kandel, a poultry trader and local Nepali Congress figure in Bharatpur, Chitwan. It attributed information about the initial investigation and postmortem referral to the district police spokesperson.
The report was an early account of a death under investigation. It is not a final forensic determination and does not establish another person's responsibility.

Later online retellings can combine reported financial concerns, speculation and allegations as though they were a single official conclusion. This page does not repeat a method, publish private correspondence or infer a motive from business circumstances. The confirmed identity, location at city level and date of reporting are sufficient to identify the event behind the old link.
Readers can consult the original report for its attribution and the World section for current reporting. This is a historical reference, rather than a renewed allegation or a claim to have independently investigated the death.
