The establishment of a US-based charity called "The Mohan Khatri Fund" has recently come to my attention. Its website, which was taken down earlier this week, included the text of an article about the death of my husband, Major (rtd.) Mohan Khatri, which appeared in the Nepali Times (#116). The charity's founders did not ask for my permission to raise money using my late husband's name, and they agreed earlier this week to take his name off of their site. Nonetheless, the use of his name for several months has created the false impression among some that I, or other members of the Khatri family, established the fund to raise money. This is not the case. We are not beneficiaries of the fund, nor did we have a hand in its establishment.
