The Nepali royal massacre occurred on 1 June 2001 at the Narayanhiti Palace, the then-residence of the Nepalese monarchy. Nine members of the royal family, including King Birendra and Queen Aishwarya, were killed in a mass shooting during a gathering of the royal family at the palace.[3] A government-appointed inquiry team named Crown Prince Dipendra as perpetrator of the massacre.[4] Dipendra slipped into a coma after shooting himself in the head.[5]
King Birendra and his son Dipendra were very popular and well-respected by the Nepalese population.[17] On the day of the massacre, Gyanendra was in Pokhara whilst other royals were attending the dinner function. His wife Komal, their son Paras, and their daughter Prerana were in the room at the royal palace during the massacre. While the entire families of Birendra and Dipendra were killed, nobody in Gyanendra's family died: his son escaped with slight injuries,[18] and his wife sustained a life-threatening bullet wound but survived. This gave rise to conspiracy theories.[19]

Pushpa Kamal Dahal (Prachanda), the chairman of the Nepalese Maoist Party, in a public gathering claimed that the massacre was planned by the Indian Research and Analysis Wing (R&AW) or the American Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). Since the massacre, some eyewitness statements have been released such as, "multiple people with the mask of the Crown Prince Dipendra were present in the room at one point." The bodies of some of the Royal Family members were found elsewhere in the palace and not the dining hall, whereas Dipendra was cited as one of the first ones to have been shot. There is a book titled "Raktakunda" based on interviews of two palace maids which details these theories.[20] Promoters of these ideas alleged Gyanendra had a hand in the massacre so that he could assume the throne himself. His ascent to the throne would have been possible only if both of his nephews, Dipendra and Nirajan, were removed from the line of succession. Moreover, Gyanendra and his son Prince Paras were very unpopular. One of the eyewitness of the royal massacre, Lal Bahadur Magar, claims that Paras is the main man behind the whole massacre. Magar was one of the bodyguards of Crown Prince Dipendra at that time.[21]

People had many questions. What led the Crown Prince to shoot his family? If he was indeed behind the killing spree, was it because he was angry that his father made Nepal a constitutional monarchy after the 1990 revolution? Was Gyanendra, his uncle, a conspirator since the shooting wiped out every person in the line of succession before him? The fact that Gyanendra's three immediate family members were at the gathering and survived while almost everyone else died didn't help. His wife, Princess Komal, was only slightly injured. His two children were left unscathed. Gianandra's only son, Paras, was a notorious troublemaker. A year before, police suspected him of running over and killing a famous singer. An army officer later claimed responsibility for the incident. Paras was also known to have drunken brawls in nightclubs and was arrested few times for unauthorized use of firearms. There were also rumors that Indians organized the assassination due to King Birendra's refusal to surveillance against its rival, China. Some claimed that the CIA planned the massacre, although there wasn't any motive for Americans to wipe out the royal family. A radical group of Nepalese communists known as Maoists was also suspected because they tried to abolish the monarchy since 1990. These are only a few of the many theories that had circulated. A Bollywood production company even made a movie by one of the conspiracies.
Days after the incidents, stories from Dipendra's childhood also began to emerge. Although he was a well-behaved child, some said that he would often throw heavy tantrums and even display sadistic tendencies if his parents ignore him due to official duties. Others said that the prince had been collecting guns as a hobby since he received his first pistol at eight. He liked visiting the army training with his father, and if he saw a weapon he wanted, he would grab it from the soldier. Palace staff recalled that although it was common among men in the royal family to carry weapons on them, only the Crown Prince would leave loaded guns unattended in his chambers like clothes. As the prince practiced shooting for hours every day, the palace workers and the people in the neighborhood got used to gunfire sounds. He would also often go bird hunting in the palace gardens. As a teenager, the prince fell in love with Supriya Shah, his second cousin. Queen Aishwarya rejected the match and sent her son to the prestigious Eton College in England.
It is the official version of the event published by the investigation team appointed by King Gyanendra and the Supreme Court. The government denied the offer of Scotland Yard, the London Metropolitan Police, to assist in the investigations. The evidence submitted by the Nepalese investigation team left quite a few holes in the story. The funeral for the royal family was held on Sunday. Hundreds of thousands of people poured onto the streets to bid a final farewell to the deceased. Their bodies were cremated in front of the Pashupatinath Temple, following Hindu tradition. The funeral procession came during a time of political instability. It was hard for people to understand how their beloved King Birendra, worshipped as an incarnation of the Hindu god Vishnu, could have been murdered by his son. Within hours Nepal's capital was gripped by riots, forcing the government to impose a curfew.
The Nepalese royal massacre occurred on 1 June 2001, at a house in the grounds of the Narayanhity Royal Palace, then the residence of the Nepalese monarchy. It is believed that the heir to the throne, Prince Dipendra, killed nine members of his family and himself. The dead included King Birendra of Nepal and Queen Aishwarya.
One hour later, Dipendra returned to the party armed with an H&K MP5, a Franchi SPAS-12 and a Colt Model 733 and fired a single shot into the ceiling before turning the gun on his father, King Birendra. Seconds later, Dipendra shot one of his aunts. He then shot his uncle Dhirendra in the chest at point-blank range when he tried to stop Dipendra.[2] During the shooting, Prince Paras suffered slight injuries and managed to save at least three royals, including two children, by pulling a sofa over them.[2] During the attack, Dipendra darted in and out of the room firing shots each time.
Many Nepalese people are skeptical of the official report that the then Crown Prince Dipendra carried out the murder.[17] King Birendra and his son Dipendra were very popular and well respected by the Nepalese population. Subsequently, Pushpa Kamal Dahal Prachanda, the chairman of the Nepalese Maoist Party, in a public gathering claimed that the massacre was planned by the Indian intelligence agency RAW or the American CIA.[18] Promoters of these ideas allege Gyanendra had a hand in the massacre so that he could assume the throne himself. His ascension to the throne would only be possible if both of his nephews Dipendra and Nirajan were eliminated. Moreover, Gyanendra and especially his son Prince Paras were grossly unpopular with the public. On the day of the massacre he was in Pokhara whilst other royals were attending a dinner function. His wife Komal, Paras and daughter Prerana were in the room at the royal palace during the massacre. While the entire families of Birendra and Dipendra were wiped out, nobody amongst Gyanendra's family died; his son escaped with slight injuries,[19] His wife sustained a life-threatening bullet wound but survived.[20]
Despite the fact that two survivors have publicly confirmed that Dipendra did the shooting, as was documented in a BBC documentary,[4] the chain of events is disputed by some Nepalese. After the monarchy was abolished through a populist uprising there have been several claims refuting the official report, among them is a recent book published in Nepal named Raktakunda recounting the massacre.[21] It looks at the incident through the eyes of one of the surviving witnesses, Queen Mother Ratna's personal maid, identified in the book as Shanta. The book, which the author says is a "historical novel", posits that two men masked as Crown Prince Dipendra fired the shots that led to the massacre. Shanta's husband, Trilochan Acharya, also a royal palace employee, was killed along with 10 royal family members, including the entire family of King Birendra. In addition to details of the royal massacre, Shanta alleged many other cover-ups by the royal family, including a claim that the previous king King Mahendra committed suicide.
I mean even on the first day, 18th division, their divisional commander actually gets them to go into no man's land at night lie down in no man's stand lightly equipped and as soon as the barrage lifts at zero-hour rush across no man's land and take those German trenches. That works, they get in there and capture those trenches. They also move troops up at night and start to launch attacks at night that happens in the middle of July into August/September. be457b7860
