Former Nepali first lady, Rabilaxmi Chitrakar, the spouse of Former Prime Minister Jhalanath Khanal, is welcomed back on her arrival at the Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu, Nepal, on December 22, 2025, after undergoing treatment at Apollo Hospital in New Delhi, India, for three months. Chitrakar, who is seriously injured in a house fire during the Gen-Z movement and is on the verge of death, returns to Nepal after her health condition is stable and improving. Chitrakar sustains burn injuries when a mob sets her residence on fire on September 9. Burn doctors refer her to be flown to Apollo Hospital, New Delhi, by air ambulance as her condition complicates with infection spreading over her body, especially after she sustains serious injuries to her left hand.
