20-Years of Nepalese Royal Massacre
It’s been 20 years today since the Nepalese Royal massacre, which had shaken the entire world. Ten people including the entire family of late King Birendra were killed in the incident that took place on June 19 Jesth 2058 BS at the Narayanhiti Royal Palace – the then residence of the Nepalese monarchy. People at the centre of Kathmandu all heard the sound of automatic gunfire at 8:45 pm and feared that the Maoists were attacking the palace. The real motive behind this bloodshed and the people engaged in Royal Massacre is still unknown.
Much controversy surrounds the circumstances of the massacre, and even today, with the abolishment of the monarchy following the 2006 revolution, many questions remain unresolved. The duration of the subsequent investigation, which only lasted for two weeks and did not involve any major forensic analysis, despite an offer by Scotland Yard to carry one out, etc. remain unresolved. 19 Jesth is considered as one of the black days in Nepali history.
