    A 45-year-old woman named Bina Shrestha set herself on fire in Balaju, Kathmandu, on Sunday night. The incident took place in Jagrati Tole, which is part of Kathmandu Metropolitan City Ward No. 16.

    Woman Acts After Domestic Dispute

    According to Kathmandu Police spokesperson SP Apilraj Bohora, Bina had a serious argument with her husband. Around 10 PM, she poured petrol on herself and lit a fire.

    Family members and neighbors rushed to help after seeing the flames. They took her to People’s Hospital in Naya Bazar.

    Health Condition and Treatment

    Doctors said Bina suffered burns on 25% of her body. Her chest, stomach, and left hand were affected. She is now getting treatment and is in a stable condition, but doctors are still monitoring her closely.

    Police Begin Investigation

    Balaju Police officers have started looking into the case. They are talking to people who were near the scene. Police also collected evidence from the area where Bina set herself on fire.

    Officials believe the cause was a domestic conflict, but they are checking all possible reasons.

    Self-Harm Cases on the Rise in Nepal

    This case highlights a growing issue in Nepal. More people, especially women, are harming themselves after facing stress at home. Nepal Police reports show that many such incidents happen every year.

    Experts say domestic abuse, financial problems, and mental illness are often behind these acts.

    Mental Health Still a Taboo

    Many people in Nepal do not talk about mental health. Some feel ashamed. Others do not know where to go for help. Because of this, problems grow worse.

    Kathmandu and other cities have seen more self-harm cases in recent years. In many homes, people do not speak out even when they are in pain.

    Experts Ask for More Support

    Mental health experts and social workers want more services for people in crisis. They say the government must invest in counseling centers, support groups, and legal aid.

    Groups like TPO Nepal, Transcultural Psychosocial Organization, and Aasha Crisis Support offer free help. Anyone facing stress or abuse can call them for support.

    What Families Can Do

    Doctors and counselors say families must watch for signs of stress. If someone seems very sad, angry, or talks about death, it’s important to act. Listening, showing care, and calling a support center can save lives.

    Helplines and hospitals in Nepal now offer free help. Anyone can reach out without fear.

    Police Call for Responsible Reporting

    Police have asked media and the public to avoid guessing details about the case. SP Apilraj Bohora said the police are working hard to learn the truth. He also said the public should not spread false information.

    A Lesson for All

    This tragic event is a warning. People need help when they are suffering. Society, government, and families must work together to prevent such acts in the future.

    We must treat mental health as a real issue—just like physical illness. We also need to stop domestic violence and build safer homes for all.
