Dipendra of Nepal Biography

Dipendra of Nepal is one of the most popular and richest King who was born on June 27, 1971 in Kathmandu, Bagmati Zone, Nepal.

His motive for the murders is unknown, but there are various theories. Dipendra desired to marry Devyani Rana, the daughter of an Indian royal family whom he had met in England, but due to her family’s lower caste and her father’s political alliances, Dipendra’s parents objected; he was told that he would have to give up his claim to the throne in order to marry her. Other theories allege that Dipendra was unhappy with the country’s shift from an absolute to a constitutional monarchy, and that too much power had been given away following the 1990 People’s Movement.

On 1 June 2001, Crown Prince Dipendra opened fire at a house on the grounds of the Narayanhity Royal Palace, the residence of the Nepalese monarchy, where a party was being held. He shot and killed his father, King Birendra, his mother, Queen Aishwarya, and seven other members of the royal family before shooting himself in the head. Because he had killed most of the line of succession, he became king while in a comatose state from the head wound.
