The video was posted by Laxmi Prasad Paudel, who runs a program titled “Apangata Sarokar” on Nepal Television (NTV), on facebook.
Paudel handed over a check of Rs 15, 65,000 to the Dalit couple. “People proactively came forward to support them after seeing the video on facebook,” said Paudel.
“I am now happy that every one has supported me,” Balbahadur said. Balbahadur says none of his daughters was born quadriplegic but developed the disease within a month of birth.
