Gaurishankar Ram Chamar, an Indian citizen injured in a bomb blast in Rautahat in 2008, holds a press conference in Kathmandu, Nepal, on July 6, 2025, following the acquittal of Nepali Congress leader Mohammad Aftab Alam, the main accused behind the blast. Chamar hails from Sitamarhi in Bihar. Chamar is injured when a bomb kept at Alam's house to allegedly rig the Constituent Assembly election explodes on April 9, 2008. On May 28, the Birgunj bench of Janakpur High Court acquits Alam and three others. Justices Khusi Prasad Tharu and Arjun Mahrjan rule that there is no evidence to confirm whether a blast even occurs. During the press conference, Chamar says, ''That day, I go to the house to collect money. Someone tells me to take the money and leave. I have just reached the door when the bomb explodes. When the fire starts, I run. There is water behind the house; I pour it on myself and flee again.'' Chamar claims that he is unaware of what happens afterward and that he regains consciousness in Sitamarhi. He receives treatment at a hospital there, incurring expenses of INR 350,000. Chamar claims that when he goes to the police office to give a statement, Alam's men threaten his mother, saying her son is gone and wouldn't survive long. Chamar also files a complaint in connection with the incident, but the high court dismisses his complaint and statement as evidence. The court notes that the hospital prescription indicates injuries from a stove explosion, not a bomb blast.
