Amid the deadly Nepal protests, an Indian tourist stuck in Pokhara has made a desperate appeal for help from the Indian government.
In a viral video, the woman, who identified herself as Upasana Gill, claimed that protesters set fire to her hotel, burning all her belongings and said she too was chased by a mob carrying sticks, leaving her to flee for safety.
“Indian governement please get all our people back. Situation is horrible in Nepal right now. Please,” the text over the video read.

Protests against Nepal’s short-lived ban on social media grew increasingly violent on Tuesday as demonstrators not just set government buildings on fire, but also targeted the homes of politicians, attacking leaders and their wives.
Nepal Prime Minister KP Oli resigned amid widening criticism of the country’s political elite and growing calls for his ouster. However, the resignation appeared to have little effect on the unrest.
