The 25-year-old died while receiving treatment at Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital (TUTH), confirmed Nabina Lama, vice president of ANNFSU.



Shahi was shot at his neck when one Mukesh Khatri was reportedly fiddling with a pistol in a room rented by Bir Bahadur Raut, vice president of Free Student Union (FSU) at ASCOL, on June 8.



FSU member Mukeh Thapa was also present in the room. ANNFSU has already expelled Raut and Thapa from the union while Raut has been absconding since the incident.
