Nirajan

From Free net encyclopedia

HRH Nirajan, (1977–June 1 2001) was a Prince of Nepal, younger brother of Crown Prince/King Dipendra, who fatally shot him and other royals at a dinner in 2001. Nirajan was next in line to the throne after Dipendra.

People knowing Nirajan called him someone who was affable and sympathetic. He smoked the popular "Shikhar" brand of cigarette. Just before he was shot, he had changed his maruti gypsy jeep to a new Toyota RAV4. Unconfirmed sources quoted that this new jeep was presented to him by his brother Dipendra with whom he had an excellent relationship. Just a couple of hours before the royal massacre, he was finishing an exam in financial management at Kathmandu College of Management.
