Most of you already know what happened with him last month. There are various angles to comment. But at this time he needs help. Chicagoland nepali pariwar is co-ordinating the fund raiser- www.cnpariwar.org which has a pay-pal link
Shiva has been in languishing in jail for a month and meanwhile, not much has happened. Due to his being in a ward where he was not permitted to call out for over two weeks, as a result of which his phone connection was disabled, he was unable to contact me until last weekend after the connection was restored. He is understandably apprehensive of his November 10th arraignment and, rather unhelpfully, his Public Defender has not been in touch with him or available for some time. It appears imperative that outside counsel has to be retained and soon.
Unfortunately, our fundraising has stalled at about $5,500, an amount inadequate to retain credible legal services. He has asked me to send a special appeal to his friends to help him in his hour of need. Before anyone gets the impression that this is an appeal for funds to be used for his prolonged legal expenses, let me clarify that the intention is to get a current one-time resolution in his case that positions him to continue the case on his own. I will not go into the options or the possible legal ramifications here but suffice it to say that retaining qualified counsel is the best way to help him at this time. He realizes that and stresses it repeatedly in his calls to me.
I think it is time for his friends and countrymen to step up.
As some people may think he is a doctor and might have lots of money. This is not true.Dr Acharya is from Padampur Chitwan and went through a big struggle in his career. He has always remain simple and his ultimate aim was to do something for the nation and Chitwan. He had just completed his 1st year of Internal medicine in St John hospital in Chicago. Recently had gone through an intense personal stress and was very depressed and was not in a state to act normal. That is the main reason for this incident and anybody can realize that no normal person does what he did.
IT HAS BEEN A WHILE I HAVE NOT POSTED ANY COMENTS IN SAJHA. BUT YOUR THREAD HAS FORCED ME TO WRITE SOMETHING.
I WANT TO ASK YOU ONE THING. IF ONE OF YOUR FAMILY MEMBER WAS THE ONE WHO WAS DRIVING THAT MOTORBIKE, WOULD YOU BE STILL RAISING FUND FOR THAT DOCTOR??
EVERYBODY MAKES MISTAKES . THING HAPPENS SOMETIMES EVENTHOUGH YOU DONT WANT IT. IF HE WAS A GOOD GUY, HE WOULD NOT HAVE LEAVE THE ACCIDENT SCENE. HE WOULD HAVE CALLED 911 AND CALL FOR THE HELP. BEING DOCTOR, HE SHOULD HAVE TRIED HELP THAT POOR GUY RATHER THAN HIDING IN THE BUSH.
EVEN A 10 YEAR OLD KID KNOWS THAT HE/SHE NEEDS TO CALL AMBULANCE IF SOMEBODY IS HURT IN ACCIDENT!!!!!
AND IF HE HAD INTENTION TO SERVE NEPALESE, HE WOULD HAVE NEVER COME TO USA.HE WOULD BE IN SOME SMALL TOWN OF NEPAL HELPING NEPALESE PEOPLE WHO NEEDS SOME GOOD DOCTOR. NOW DONT TELL ME THAT HE HAD AN INTENTION TO GO BACK TO NEPAL AFTER 10 YEARS!!!!!!!
AND AT LAST, IF HE CAN AFFORD DRIVING BMW THEN HE CAN ALSO AFFORD FIGHTING HIS CASE. WHY DOES NOT HE SELL HIS BMW, USE HIS CREDIT CART TO CLEAN THE MESS THAT HE CREATED.
AND WHY ARE WE RAISING MONEY FOR HIM KNOWING THAT ALL THE ODDS ARE AGAINST HIM????????THERE IS NO WAY WE CAN GET HIM OUT OF THE JAIL!!EVEN THOUGH IF U GUYS GET HIM OUT OF THE JAIL, WHAT IS HE GOING TO DO? DRINK AND DRIVE???
MAN.....HE IS A DOCTOR....HE AIN'T KID....."PAISA LE MAAT CHADEKO BHNAYA YEHI HO......"
WHY DONT YOU RAISE FUND FOR POOR PEOPLE IN NEPAL???OR MAY BE FOR THOSE FLOOD VICTIMS???? I BET THERE WILL BE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WHO WILL HAPPILY DONATE FOR THOSE NOBEL REASONS.
HELP THOSE PEOPLE IN NEPALESE JAIL WHO DONT HAVE ACCESS TO GOOD FOOD, GOOD LAWYER, MEDICINE AND OTHER BASIC NEEDS RATHER THAN HELPING THAT DOCTOR.
THAT $5500 (RS. 434,500) THAT YOU GUYS HAVE RAISED SO FAR CAN HELP 100 INNOCENT PEOPLE WHO ARE IN NEPALESE JAIL JUST BECAUSE THEY DIDNT HAD GOOD LAWYER REPRESENTING THEM IN THE COURT.
OR THAT $5500 CAN BE USED FOR THOSE KOSHI VICITIMS OR TO THOSE NEEDY PEOPLE IN BIR HOSPITAL WHO DONT HAVE MONEY TO BY ANTIBIOTICS WHICH CAN SAVE THEIR LIFE.
GOD WILL BLESS YOU MR. RTDIN IF YOU RAISE MONEY FOR THESE NOBEL CAUSE.
You started the thread with information that people could not believe like "He has always remain simple". Driving BMW doesn't prove it.
Also, I agree with the statement "his ultimate aim was to do something for the nation and Chitwan" because every nepalese around the world has wish to do something for their country. But, it doesn't suit to write here because everybody knows he was a doctor at Nepal and he came here for earning fortune. Even though many other people did the same, doctors are viewed as very important asset of a country and people tend to think they are from wealthy background who can afford to to come to US.
Basically, I just wanted to point out that the way you have pledged for help will have negative effect on collecting fund.
Guys, some people make mistake in life which can later be corrected and in life such mistakes make you learn and ultimately that will have positive impact in life. Some people make blunders and such things can not be corrected, endure or mourn, wounds never heal and life becomes hell! Dr.Shiva made blunder and now craving for help. I wish he would soon get out of this trouble and my sympathy to his families. If we can contribute to make one life better (noting that he is doctor-and will go back to Nepal), it is a good if not lets not add insult to injuries.
Who are we to make any decisions? Who are we to judge his motive and mental stage?

I wish he would soon get out of this trouble and my sympathy to his families. If we can contribute to make one life better (noting that he is CROWN PRINCE OF NEPAL-and will COME BACK to Nepal), it is a good if not lets not add insult to injuries.

WOW!!! I had to put my 2cents... it is unfortunate that he hit someone and ran away... it is the first thing that comes to someone's mind, is RUNN run forest run..
Everbody should get a second chance... How can you judge somone just like that and start giving verdict's .. we aren't in the 17th or the 18th century to Hang a man on a noose... If you guy's dont' want to give than dont' give, but you guys have no right to judge someone....
Someone said what if that motercyle rider was your family??? let me ask you the same question.. what if Dr.Acharya was your family??? what would you do???
Bro I ride bikes all the time and I am scared someone is going to come and tag me from the back.. but unfortunate things happen.. he is a nepali.. we should help him to get back to nepal.. I think we have provision where he can serve in Nepali Jail.. but let the Judge of COOK COunty decide if he is guilty or not...
No offense to anyone... let's not judge people.... ya'll don't even know him.. and here you are crying crimminal..
How is Keith Brown Different than Our Ashok Bhattarai? Both were likable person working at store killed by some brainless maniacs. Will you collect money to exonerate that 17 year old minor, killer of Ashok Bhattarai.
If I was thousandare (not millionare, billionare), I would have given him $1000 to his rescue, but I have decided to give "few" if that helps him out and go to reunite his family. If you beg too, I am ready to give a quarter. Never mind bro, this help doesn't mean that we are ignoring the motorcycle rider's family. If they come across the story of this poor fellow , I am sure they will help too.
Either you guys are not trying to understand his situation or trying to become 'oversmart' by telling stories of Humla, Jumla, and Nepal's jail. Should you have contributed anything, dont hesitatate to tell here.
Somebody already stated his mental condition and you are linking as 'criminal'. At last, if you need help caused by your mistake, what do you feel?
And again you are not "compelled" to help. It's your choice where to stand.
What's wrong with you FreeH1B. Do not mix things up here. People do bizzare things when they are not in themself. I am not advocating in favor of Dr.Shiva, he did commit crime ( may be under different mental situation who knows? or may not be who knows?. So let him face the justice -that is one part! With that said, why do you want to be "SADISTIC HERO" AND TRYING TO PROVE YOUR SELF AS IF YOU ARE MILK BATHED PUNK @ZZZ.
As far as PARAS SHAH is concerned, no crime committed nor he is craving for anything??. You son of killer prachanda!!! understand what I am trying to say!
no_quiro, WTF are you talking about linking to Ashok Bhattarai? Had Shiva gone to his store to kill this biker? May be you are thinking that BMW is like AK-47, Shiva followed him for looting purpose, shot him and flew away. Get some milk and come again.
हल्ला गर्छ त्य्सै ... maybe you are the ass()le here.. not us... you can't just come to conclusion's just like that...
next time your turn will come and will see how you will be asking for help here in sajha as well.... don't think your turn will never come!!!!.. than there will someone like you an ahole making comments again...
than whose ahole will be bored in the prison system of america we will see too.....
1.I gather that he has a small child. The victim
who died has a dependent teenager. Should we look into helping these dependents
also? Pardon me if I am straying from your objective for the appeal.
2. You mentioned “It’s time for his friends and
countrymen to stand upâ€.As a fellow
countrymen I take it that you have challenged me to ‘stand up’. I understand
that you are challenging me and people alike to stand up to our
responsibilities? Can you please clarify what that responsibility is? Remember
I also have responsibility to uphold the law and enforce it. Please remember
that collective life of a society and laws that enable it also equally
important. Please help me understand the situation and present your most fair
and objective assessment. I shall then oblige.
3. I need to be able to trust you since you have
made this request. You wrote ‘As some people may think he is a doctor and might have
lots of money. This is not true. He has always remained simple.’
Down here simple people don’t have a new BMW. Please clarify if he was the
owner of the new BMW that he was driving at the time of accident. If he never
owned that BMW, I am willing to contribute what little I can.
4. May god bless Mr. Acharya and the families &
friends of those involved in this tragedy. Regardless of what he did I hope we
will be able to help him.
Let me Tell You all one thing, CHOR bhaye pani,DAKA bhaye pani,RandiBaaje Gare pani,Kurup bhaye pani,je gare pani,
Lets help a Nepali..
I know whatever he did was the worst possible thing that a person can do...Usanga BMW hola,Penthouse hola, aaru nana kura holan, he or whoever is asking for Help lets help him...
Let the Justice system of USof A decide whether he should go to a federal prison for Life sentence or he is deported...
I don't have any relationship withat freaking Doc OC, i will help him because he is a Nepali..
From Trump “I will revoke TPS, and deport them back to their country.”
wanna be ruled by stupid or an Idiot ?
