Gorkha Community in Israel Holds Prayer for Slain Indian Caregiver, Seeks Justice
Members of the Gorkha community in Israel held a candlelight prayer in Tel Aviv to honor Rajiv Acharya, an Indian caregiver from West Bengal who was fatally attacked in Jerusalem on July 23. Israeli prosecutors have charged Avior Zaken, the elderly couple's grandson, with premeditated murder, though the motive remains unclear. The Indian Embassy is monitoring the case. Community members and local supporters called for justice and support for Acharya's family during the gathering organized by "Gorkha Voice for Justice."
